With this recent discussion it might be helpful to give an updated
list of contradictory ev. Almost all from cognates in 2+ branches,
most of it showing Po-mo or PuC-mo but anything relevant to any aspect
could be included. Ignore my own theories regarding PIE sounds if
necessary. Some ex. are more uncertain than others; even those I
disagree with are included for completeness of comparison:

There are a few more than might be relevant, but are either
uncertain, complicated, or known from one branch. If anyone has any
theories for or against, any contradictory or helpful examples, I'd be
glad to see them.
