I see, so it's regular, I didn't know that, thank you.
 
Concerning this issue, we could also add unclear words like:
 
[1]:
 
Cz    housenka
OCz    hu'se^nice^
Pol    ga~sienica
Russ    gu'senica (ORuss use^nica, jusenica)
S-Cr    gu\senica
Sln    gose^nica, vose^nica
OCS    go~senica
 
PS *go~se^nica is not very clear. Some people think it could have been *vo~se^nica
 
(The first component being *vo~s :
 
Cz    vous
P    wa~s
Russ    us
Sln. dial.    vo^s
OCS    o~sU
 
PS    *(v)o~sU
 
(probably akin to OPrus wanso, MIr fés, find, Gk i'onthos < PIE *wendH-, *wondH-s ???))
 
[2]:
 
Cz    houz^ev
P    ga~z.va
Russ. dial.    gu'z^va'
etc.
 
PS *go~z^Iva < *go~z^I usually linked to (v)o~z / (v)e~z "to bind, tie" (va'zat, uzel), the g- is puzzling, again.
 
[3]:
 
Another puzzling word:
 
Cz    vrabec
Po    wro'bel
Ukr. dial.    horobe'c
 
Is there eny explanation for these strange alterations?
 
v- ?- h- (<g- ???)
 
Thank you.
 
Best,
