In the northern Greek dialect of Samothraki, historical /r/ is reflected by zero intervocalically, by loss with compensatory lengthening between word boundary or consonant and a following vowel, by [ī] initially before consonant, by [i] between vowel and consonant, and by [r] finally. There is evidence that epenthesis of [i] occurred between /r/ and a following consonant, that /r/ was then lost with compensatory lengthening of the following vowel by a common rule, and that this long vowel was then reduced adjacent to another vowel by an equally natural rule. These simple assumptions account for the known facts
