The merger of the *k and *kW does not really some like a real "satem"
change, since it does not happen in Arm. and Alb. apparently.
What about Sanskrit -i(:)r-/-u(:)r- developments, which were connected
with PIE labiovelars (-u(:)r- comes supposedly not only after the labials
but after PIE labiovelars as well)?
