are common changes. I never claimed this happened always, every time,
as you imply, so I don't have to deliver any 'proof' for that,
contrary to what you imply.

Therefore, if /us/ > /us^/ by the RUKI rule, they might happen some
other time, some other place.

I proposed that /us/ > /us^/ might have happened in OF. You say it
didn't happen. Therefore the burden of proof is on you, not me.
