Derivation from *kʷel-

It's noted that the initial հ would be irregular, but this reminds me if the irregular reflex seen in ո and զի/հիմ ևն., so it could be worthwhile to explain this connection. Perhaps the roundedness on kʷ caused it to irregularly merge with p, and then proceed down the normal path of development to h and ∅. 68.99.131.155 08:07, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
