One of the main traits of Italo-Celtic is the
assimilation p-kw > kw-kw, and the principal examples are:
IE *perkwu- "oak, mountain oak" > Lat
quercus
IE *penkwe "5" > Lat quinque
IE *pekwo: "I cook" > Lat coquo
Are there another examples?
May this assimilation occur in compounds, like, for
instance, *pro-kwolo- > *kwro-kwolo ?
Similarly, may this assimilation occur in
bh-gwh, p-gw, p-ghw, b-gw, etc ?
