    Laryngeal consonants are lost between a vowel and any other consonant in pretonic syllables. [13] [14] Examples of this include Proto-Celtic *wiro-(whence Old Irish fer 'man'), Latin vir 'man', and Old English wer 'man', all of which are derived from Proto-Indo-European *wiHró-.

It is common for these three features to pattern together in the phonology of the world's languages to the exclusion of every other feature, and in feature geometry, this follows from the ...

  9. Laryngeal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_theory

    Before the development of laryngeal theory, scholars compared Greek, Latin and Sanskrit (then considered earliest daughter languages) and concluded the existence in these contexts of a schwa (ə) vowel in PIE, the schwa indogermanicum. The contexts are: 1. between consonants (short vowel); 2. word initial before a consonant (short vowel); 3.
