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

Piotr


Piotr, which should be other IE cognates for Greek 'kephalos' and which
is the assumed root for "kephalos"?
Do the other IE cognates means always "head"?
