| Oct 9, 2018 at 20:59 | comment | added | Doorknob | @AntonSherwood I don't think the intermediate steps have ever been reconstructed, but as far as I'm aware, *d became r (which isn't unusual), the labiovelar glide *w turned into velar k, and e was an epenthetic vowel inserted for phonotactic reasons. | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 20:32 | comment | added | Anton Sherwood | *dw to erk was not just one change, of course. I think I've seen a reconstruction of the sequence of shifts, most of them not out of the ordinary. (Wish I knew where I'd seen it!) | |
