[edit]Komi language Sound Change
[edit]According to the article Permic Languages, This inventory is retained nearly unchanged in the modern-day Permic languages. Komi has merged original *w into /v/ and undergone a change *l → /v/ or /w/ in many dialects. So Komi is supposed to have /v/ for /w/, and yet on Wiktionary we have Komi сёйны (sjojny), from Proto-Uralic *sewe. [1][2] I believe this is an isolated case, but how is it explained? déhanchements (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
