This research examines dissimilation effects on syllable structures in dialects, suggesting historical phonetic changes.
Besides such cases as those given above postconsonantal w may occasionally have been lost by dissimilation because of a labial at the end of the syllable or w in the next syllable. This loss, which is naturally not uniform, may in some instances have occurred in the IE period, in others in the separate dialects. Cf. the following and 12.03-05, 12.24-31.
