Alright, gLeN will be thinkin' about that for a while. Another
question though. Was *y (or *j, tomato-tomahtah) included in the
original formulation of lengthening devised by Szemerenyi?
If *y is a more recent discovery, then perhaps this is where my
little confusion may have started because I know I had started
believing that lengthening was caused by *r, *l, *m and *n alone
before the *y was unexpectedly dropped on my lap in one post.
