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.
