"fournet.arnaud" <fournet.arnaud@...> a écrit :
The Latin word collina "hill" < kolH1-na
is (very) troublesome.
Lituanian kalna < kolH-na (intonation and verb kél-ti prove H)
Grec kolo:nos
 
Armenian holm "wind" from HonH1-m is ok.
 
Personally, I think that Saussure's Law does not apply to LAtin.
I believe Saussure's LAw is a major eastern isogloss,
from which Latin and maybe Celtic are excluded.
 
I am not good enough in Celtic to provide counter examples from Celtic.

Subject: [tied] Re: Saussure laryngeal loss

I've come across a couple of references recently to "Saussure's law of laryngeal loss".  It refers to the loss of h1 between consonants.  However, one place seems to suggest the "law" applies to h1 after a resonant, while another seems to suggest it is only after an o-grade.  Does anyone have more details?
