The paper presents some thoughts on the phonology of Northwestern Karaim during its transition from vowel to consonant harmony, that were enabled and spurred by a recent discovery of an 18th century manuscript. It advocates a greater inclusion of the diachronic perspective in synchronic endeavours, and the concession of the notion of multiple phonologies coexisting and cooperating in one period.
