- And Sard changes lating /kw/ to /b/: not 'abba' = water, 'battoro' = four,
- etc. I believe that someone has already mentioned Oscan, with 'pid'
- beside Latin 'quid'. And, although it's not a "labio" velar, IE /dw/
- ends up as Latin /b/ as in 'bis' for earlier '/dwis/, and 'bonus' for
- earlier 'duenos'.
