Apophony?

Just wondering....what is "apophony"?  I was glancing at a book on the
history of Hebrew today (a different one than before) and it said that
the Semitic "broken plurals" are considered by some to have something to
do with apophony.  But it didn't explain what apophony is, and none of
the dictionaries i looked at had it.

So...what is it?
