It examines the extent to which Indo-European *i and *y were independent phonemes, in what respects their alternation was predictable, and how this situation changed as Indo-European developed into Greek. 410 0$aOxford Classical Monographs 606 $aIndo-European languages$xPhonetics 606 $aGreek language$xPhonetics 615 0$aIndo-European languages$xPhonetics. 615 0$aGreek language$xPhonetics. 676 $a414 700 $aBarber$b P.
