Dybo assumes Hirt's law in *ma:te:r comparing it to Vedic final stress but
I think Greek points to original root-stress. Also that would go with PIE
static *méh2te:r, *méh2trs. So there would be no Hirt's law there....
As for the accent, both Slavic and Lithuanian point to a. p. 1 (a).
Latvian would thus be secondary?

P. S. I would also like to see how does Jens account for the barytone
forms of o-stems of mobile paradigm in BSl considering we derive them from
PIE oxytona...
