Re: Re[2]: [tied] PIE *a -- a preliminary checklist

From: Rick McCallister
What peaks my curiosity is why words with glottal stop
in Scandinavian were borrowed into pre-Finnish with /k/
============
Like in which word ?
I would more readily suspect a velar voiced spirant
in that case.

Did Germanic glottal stop come from something else? Or
is it normal for glottal stop to be perceived as /k/
by people whose language lacks glottal stop?
========
If you don't have glottal stop in your language
you don't even *hear* it's there
Cf. French renditions of Arabic words.
