Yes. Is there any known name of Macedonian gods (or Macedonian names of
Greek gods)? Something like Abrodita (Aphrodite) or Ada:na (Athe:na) ??

the loss of the digamma can be traced even within historical Greek. It

True, and the same holds for the treatment of the labiovelars, but I thought
João was more interested in the Macedonian reflexes of PIE phonemes than in
identifying potential common innovations.
