All the evidence shows very clearly that Slavic borrowed the word as *volxU, and that the *-ol- underwent the regular and expected language-specific transformations everywhere in Slavic (southern /vlax/, western /vlox/, eastern /volox/). There are absolutely no problems with these words.

The liquid metathesis works more or less as follows:
