Abstract:
Twelve instances of the Greek sequence of long vowel + liquid are explained as regularly deriving from IE liquid + laryngeal in final position. Later prehistoric suffixation, obligatory in the case of * -I. subsequently concealed the regularity of this change by obliterating the word-final position which conditioned it. Numerous cognate forms are explained. The resulting accentuation of κήρ accords with the IE background which the author has earlier claimed for Greek accents in final syllables.
