In Avestan there are just two words where initialy the k^w > sp:
k^won > spa
k^wen > spenta

if my data are not wrong then we have:

k^wes > susi
k^wei-1 > kay
k^wei-3 > savah

further based on the data I have, one can see that in Baltic we have as
follow:

k^wei-1 > svins
k^wei-2 > s^vyks^teti
k^wei-3 > sviesti
k^wes > s^us^inti
k^wet > kutinetis

one must observe in Avestan there is no initialy "sf-", "sv-", "sb-",
but just "sp-". At least this is what I could constate in teh online
dictionary of Avestan I could find. Are my data wrong?
