I suppose you mean Baltic *g (*k) vs. Slavic *g^ (*k^).

The standard example is Lith. klausyti ~ Slav. slus^êti

The regular reflexes for Kw- are:

*kw- Slavic kv-/cv- Lith. kv- Latv. kv-
*k^w- Slavic sv- Lith. s^v- Latv. sv-
*g(h)w- Slavic gv-/(d)zv- Lith. gv- Latv. gv-
*g^(h)w- Slavic zv- Lith. z^v- Latv. zv-
*sw- Slavic sv- Lith. sv- Latv. sv-
