Another belated self-correction:

> we have Gmc. *xelma- 'helmet' --> PSl. *s^elmU as opposed to *hulma- 'hill' --> PSl. *xUlmU, both developing just like any similar words of native origin, undergoing all the changes expected of them.

I should have written *xulma 'hill' --> PSl. *xUlmU for the sake of consistency, lest anyone should think I'm proposing a new phonemic contrast for Germanic.
