Re: [tied] Re: p/k, celtic AND dacian

What about Sardinian or Dalmatian, which have the same change without a Dacian substrate? It's really commonplace -- we have it in Greek and sporadically in Germanic. The available evidence shows that Dacian was a Satem language in which the *kW and *k series fell together.

Tying together the two previous messages, I have sometimes heard a speculation that Latin qu > Romanian p (as in aqua > apa) was due to a Dacian substrate effect. Is there any independent evidence that Dacian was a "P-type" language?
