I find the agreement very pleasant. And if you like metathesis so
much you can have it here, but then it's a different kind from the
one you are defending for /polló-/. I actually see very little
change, especially as I do not know exactly what the -O- sounded
like. I am also surprised to see that you throw around full phonemes
and apparently exclude phonetic changes of subphonemic status.
