Reflex before -r-, -l-

[edit]

I'm not really sure if Celtic *kom-l- and *kom-r- would have been maintained in Brythonic and become *kɵβ̃l- and *kɵβ̃r-, or had already undergone the seemingly Gallo-Brythonic change of *kobl- and *kobr-, whence it would be *kɵβl- and *kɵβr-. In light of Gaulish names Cobrunus and Cobruna (< Celtic *kom-rūnos), I would opt for the latter interpretation. Anglom (talk) 02:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
