Ok, I can buy that, but having only a very rudimentary background in
linguistics, all you have
explained to me is the HOW of my question. I'm being picky, but I'm
interested too in the WHY!
What is the cause of the P stop having been chosen for this evolution versus a
D or a B? I'm
looking for the story behind how this change happened. I know it's there
somewhere, and that's what
I'm interested in finding out. ;-) Whence did this change occur? What
ethnic pool did this happen
in? Was there a specific person that prompted this change indirectly? I
guess I'm looking for the
SOCIO-linguistic response to my query! G
