'''Verner’s Law''' is a voicing process which affected the Proto-Germanic voiceless fricatives in the intervocal position, so that ''ɸ'', ''θ'', ''x'', ''xʷ'', ''s'' became ''β'', ''ð'', ''ɣ'', ''ɣʷ'', ''z'' respectively unless there was a stress in Proto-Indo-European on the immediately preceding syllable (in the majority of sources notated as ''f'', ''þ'', ''χ'', ''χʷ'', ''s'' becoming ''ƀ'', ''đ'', ''ǥ'', ''ǥʷ'', ''z''). 
After the application of [[Grimm's law]], Proto-Indo-European voiceless stops should have become voiceless fricatives in Proto-Germanic. However, often they were also voiced. These irregularities to Grimm's law were noticed before Verner: the voicing alternation in certain verb paradigms had been already described by Braune (1874) and was referred to as ''grammatischer Wechsel'' after Holtzmann (1870), however, Karl Adolf Verner (1846-1896) was the first to find an explanation for these irregularities. According to his biographical notes (Verner 1903), he formulated the rule already in 1875 and published it in 1876 under a misleading title ''Eine Ausnahme der ersten Lautverschiebung''. 
Verner's rule can be exemplified with the development of the word ''*ph2tḗr'' 'father'. Proto-Indo-European *''t'' developed into ''ð'' instead of the expected *''θ'': Proto-Germanic *''faðēr'' instead of expected *''faθēr''.
