Abstract:
The Greek sequences of a long vowel plus liquid (V+ L) can be derived not only from PIE. *L + H (liquid plus laryngeal) in the final position (as suggested by Hamp), but also from the original Proto-Indo-European clusters of a liquid plus laryngeal plus laryngeal (L + H + H) in the position before vowels. This hypothesis is supported by an etymological analysis of four Greek items.Proto-Indo-European clusters of a liquid plus laryngeal plus laryngeal (L + H + H) in the position before vowels.
