Four spirants; v (= E. w), s voiced (= E. z), s voiceless, y. Two liquids: /, r. The most striking analogy to the whole process is found in Armenian, where IE. gh, bh, dh, g, and d are represented by g, b, d, k and t respectively, exactly as in the Teut. languages. (See Hubschmann, Kuhn's Zeitschrift, xxiii., pp. 18 sqq.) Three nasals: n (dental), m (labial), h (guttural). This original consonantal system appears considerably modified in the separate languages.
