Slavic Liquid Metathesis And Pleophony
Slavic liquid metathesis refers to the historical phenomenon of metathesis of liquid consonants occurring in the Common Slavic period in the South Slavic and Czecho-Slovak area. Onomastic evidence indicates that it seems to have occurred some time in the latter half of the eighth century. The closely related corresponding phenomenon of pleophony occurred in parallel in the East Slavic languages.

Famous quotes containing the word liquid:
““Awake,
My fairest, my espoused, my latest found,
Heaven’s last best gift, my ever new delight,
Awake, the morning shines, and the fresh field
Calls us: we lose the prime, to mark how spring
Our tended plants, how blows the citron grove,
What drops the myrrh and what the balmy reed,
How nature paints her colors, how the bee
Sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet.””
—John Milton (1608–1674)
