The passing of labio-velar to labials is a well established fact (e.g. I.E. *kw to Greek p before back vowels, or I.E. *gw to Greek b/Latin v), but has anyone ever heard of a p or b becoming a kw or gw? Just curious. Any examples of either direction of change would be appreciated. John S. Robertson Professor of Linguistics/BYU e-mail: robrtsnj@yvax.byu.edu
