[tied] Re: Slavic palatalistions: why /c^/, /c/?

Let me see if I got this right:

After (*kWe- >) *ke > *c^e, the /c^/ stayed immobile, while (*kWay-,
*kWoy-) > *ki: > ci.

In other words, while one dorsal turns palatal, the other palatal
(generated previously) stays the same, because the new palatal has
found a route around it, so it won't be disturbed. You can't sell that
to me. Sorry. Nope.
