Already in Late Old English, but especially in the Middle English period, Old English /xl/, /xn/, /xr/ ([l̥], [n̥], [r̥], <hl hn hr>) gradually became /l/, /n/, /r/. Except for in the Ayenbite of Inwit, these sounds (in Middle English /hl/, /hn/, /hr/, now spelt <lh nh rh> alongsides OE <hl hn hr>) are only found in Early Middle English.
