Danish has 'kugle' /kuGl&/ or /ku:l&/. It's strange that the laws of
phoneme alternation in Danish (here /G/ = /u:/) means that the
otherwise incompatible variants *kul- and *kugl- are unified. Most
linguists would say convergence in Danish, in me it causes a suspicion
that the substrate language from which it came had a phoneme
alternation law similar to the one mentioned. (I seeem to recall
Jouppe had some similar of dialect variation -eu-/-ep-/-ek- in Finnish?).
