Delabialization

@CodeCat Is there a rule that delabializes labiovelars after *w? The /p/ from AG ἔειπον would come from PIE *kʷ; though I guess it could come from leveling. I'm just curious what the rule for *wéwkʷet to *wéwket is. —JohnC5 17:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, labiovelars are delabialised next to a labial vowel. See w:boukólos rule. —CodeCat 17:34, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Yep, I have definitely read this at least 20 times but still somehow forgot. —JohnC5 17:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
