This week, although with a slight delay, I am starting a new chapter - sound changes. In this episode, I will tell you a bit more about liquid metathesis, what is it and what consequences it left in Slavic languages.

Note: although I say krau̯a* is a Proto-Slavic word for cow, some sources list krowa* instead. You can decide which one you like better :)

The transcript to this episode can be found here.
