 As with "shall", the word "shalt" did not follow this trend, and remains today.Before , this produced "balk", "caulk/calk", "chalk", "Dundalk", "falcon", "stalk", "talk", "walk", "folk", "Polk", and "yolk".This L-vocalization established a pattern that would influence the spelling pronunciations of some relatively more recent loanwords like "Balt", "Malta", "waltz", "Yalta", and "polder".
