Erh, sorry. I don't know. It's just that *t and *s to me
are dental (unless somebody has a reason to think that they
are something else in IE). Perhaps it's just me trying to
speak IE with a Parisian accent ;) So since *tW is labial...
labiodental springs first to mind just as *k is a velar
and thus *kW is a "labio-velar". But alright, I hear what
you're saying. How 'bout I call them labialized dentals
from now on. Happy? It will cut down on my typing speed,
but why not.
