Portuguese and Basque also hate intervocalic /VlV/.
Spanish generales vs. Portuguese gerais
Spanish gavilán vs. Basque gavirai

While Catalan and minor Ibero-Romance languages do
interesting things with initial /l-/. While it's
normally spelled <ii> in the various languages, it
comes out as /L/ in Catalan and can be /ts, sh, ch/ in
the Asturian-Galician continuum

Do we see anything like that in Gascon, Occitan and N. Italian?
