This is what I did. I comparated the changes from Latin to Romance thus
I could trace phonologicaly on living words the the /k/ > /s/ and /g/ >
/z/
But here all these changes request a front vowel as /e/, /i/, /j/ for
alowing that. Thus, this is why I wondered about PIE /*k^/and /*g^/ if
they could have a kind of "apendices" which allowed theses changes. And
this "appendices" should be just a kind of front wovel for palatalising
since the /W/ was the labial one.Do you see there an another posiblity
without the help of this kind of vowel ?
