page 1198 note 2 We have no evidence to determine the date at which this Ind.-Ir. change took place. The parallel change of IndE. ě, ē > Ind.-Ir. ă, ā certainly took place after the Ind.-Ir. palatalization of the gutturals before front vowels (J. Wackernagel, Altindische Grammatik, § 119 ff.), but, even if we assume that this latter change was contemporary with the change under discussion, this can afford us no more than a relative date. It should also be note d here that, despite the position maintained by H. Jacobsohn (who follows Andreas) in his Arier und Ugrofinnen, the lexicographical correspondences between Primitive Finno-Ugrian and Indo-European, often regarded as due to “ Pre-Aryan” loans in Primitive Finno-Ugrian cannot afford us any assistance indetermining the date of the change of IndE. ŏ to Ind.-Ir. ă.
