The accent in Greek was retracted to the _first_ syllable,
under the influence of the vocative (thúgater), or the
word for mother (mé:te:r), or both.
By the law of limitation, *thúgate:r becomes thugáte:r.

What is the reason why
these morphologically connected words
do not share the same accent position ?
