I've found an example of m>w in Germanic, also. The
exact environment is uncertain but is before dentals,
also.
tem!rós
temsrós
temstrós
etc
þimstraz > finstraz 'dark'
with both forms existing (either due to metathesis of
features or a child's form).
þimstraz
þiwstraz
þéoster, etc. OE
finstraz
finstar OHG
which contaminates the other form to dinstar
This also seems to be the origin of:
teme!
temel
temol
þimal also> fimal fiml+
þimal
demal
demar (cont. by sumar) OHG
fiml+
fimbl+
fimbul ON
