There is a striking parallelism between the origin and development of some of the initial consonants in Gilyak and in Celtic. Old Celtic must have had a system of allophonic alternation between long (and strong) and short (and weak) consonants. As a general rule the long (and strong) quality was the rule in the beginning of the group, whereas the short (and weak) occurred. in intervocalic position. Both qualities appeared in consonant clusters according to special rules. In the Irish group the short and weak forms of the stops: b, d, g, k, t, m, and the sibilant s, the liquid L (strong, long l), the dental nasal N and the vibrant R were further weakened, the first six into fricatives v, ð, r, x, p, ṽ, h, l, n, r, whereas w disappeared. |
