TY - JOUR A1 - Matasović, Ranko T1 - The loss of *g before *m in Proto-Slavic T2 - Rasprave : casopis Instituta za Hrvatski Jezik i Jezikoslovlje N2 - This paper proposes a new sound rule for Proto-Slavic, according to which *g (from PIE *g, *gw, *gh, and *gwh) was lost before *m. This development was posterior to Winter’s law and the merger of voiced and aspirated stop in Slavic. The operation of the rule is illustrated by new etymologies of four Slavic words: *ama, *jama ‘hole, pit’, *těmę ‘sinciput’, *mąžь ‘husband, man’, and *remy ‘leather belt’.
