Przejście pie. *p w pgerm. *f utrwalone w polsko-angielskich wyrazach pokrewnych: praformy różniące się budową słowotwórczą oraz inne zmiany modyfikuj
The change from PIE *p to PGmc *f in Polish-English cognates: etymons with a different morphological structure and later changes...

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is the second in the series devoted to the traces of Grimm’s Law in Polish-English cognates. Like the first, it concentrates on the change of PIE *p to PGmc *f, but this time the focus is on the cases which pose some methodological difficulties. Firstly, the paper discusses less transparent juxtapositions of cognates which descend from incongruous morphological structures or etymons exhibiting different ablaut grades, but sharing the same root. Secondly, the paper presents the phonological developments which obscured the sound change of PIE *p to PGmc *f (such as Verner’s Law, the change of PIE *kw > Pre-Gmc *p, simplification of consonant clusters, or analogical changes).
