Some time within the past two years I came across clear evidence that

'coupon' does not pattern like other palatalizations. That is, thre is no

implicational relationship. It's not in the Webster's Guide to

Usage, but I don't recall where. Both kyu/kupon and pyu/pullitzer

are mavericks, because the palatalization "rule" applies only to

-peripheral consonants. DMLance
