Re: [tied] Macedonian x Greek

I've already known tha case of Berenike. Macedonian considered a
sister-language of Greek? The common ancestor might have sonorae aspiratae
or sonorae fricativae yet.
What was the labio-velar development in Macedonian ? kWe/kWo > pe/po, ke/ko,
te/ko or kwe/kwo ?

> These correspondences are correct?

Greek pH = Macedonian b
Greek tH = Macedonian d
Greek kH = Macedonian g

Yes, except that Macedonian had not undergone Grassmann's Law. As a result,
Gk. p, t, k from deaspirated *pH, *tH, *kH < *bH, *dH, *gH also correspond
to Macedonian voiced stops.

> Philippos was called Bilippos in Macedonia ?

Yes. Also Berenika <-- Pherenike: . The Macedonians must have been aware of
the correspondence, and it seems that a number of Greek loanwords with
aspirated stops were "Macedonised" in this way. For that reason it's hard to
be sure in some cases whether we're dealing with an inherited Macedonian
word or a loan from Greek. However, in cases like <gabala> : <kepHale:>
borrowing can be ruled out.
