Oops, sorry, Piotr, forgive me. Miguel did so.

Quatation here:

"The rules also work for synchronically intransparent
compounds, such as the word for "apple" (j)a"blUko (a.p. a).
The root is itself mobile, coming from a PIE athematic
mobile paradigm *h2ábo:l(s), *h2(a)búlos. In Balto-Slavic
that became *abó:l(s), *ábolim, *abulés (with lateral
mobility), thematized as Lith. óbuolas, Latv. âbols, with
Winter's lengthening (in Shintani's formulation) originating
in the end-stressed nominative (as also shown by the Latvian
Brechton. Hirt's law of course never applied, and Winter's
law applied because the word was _not_ (exclusively)
barytonic. In Slavic the stressed suffix *-kóm was added
(to the oblique?), and the word became immobile (*a:bul-ká
-> *a:blUkó). Retraction of the ictus to the acute root
syllable by "-Dybo" finally resulted in Slavic ja"blUko.
