{"DOI":"10.1515/if-2015-0004","abstract":"Abstract\n\t\t\t\t It has been established with a great amount of certainty that PIE *#Hu- > Gr. #V\u1f50- and that PIE *#Hi- > Gr. #\u1f30-. It still remains to be demonstrated what happens in other Western Indo-European branches, including Germanic. In this article,1 I reject the statement by Ringe (1988: 433) that PIE *#Hu- becomes PG *#uand propose the possibility of differentiated outcomes dependent on the timbre of the PIE laryngeal, viz. that PIE *#h1i- > PG *#i- and PIE *#h1u- > PG *#u- as assumed by most scholars, but that PIE *#h2i- and PIE *#h2u- might yield PG *#ai- and PG *#au-, respectively. Furthermore, I tentatively propose that PG *#au- > PG *#uwhen followed by a labial consonant; a development partially paralleled in Greek and in English.","author":[{"family":"Hansen"}],"id":"unknown","issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,16]]},"page-first":"31","publisher":"Walter de Gruyter GmbH","title":"The outcome of PIE *#Hi- and *#Hu- in Germanic","type":"article-journal","volume":"120"}
