Sometimes the devoicing of plosives may be observed even in other positions too under conditions that cannot be precisely known as yet. Labials basically reflect the original AA triad of *b, *p, *f as demonstrated by J.H. Greenberg (1958) and manifold corroborated by V.M. Illi-Svity (1966, 9, 14-15), O. V. Stolbova (e.g., 1996, 15, I.1.),and G. Takcs (2001, 55; 2011, 148-152 etc.). AS *-VV- AS zero, while AA *-and *h-> either AS *h-or zero.In the Auslaut, they mostly disappeared, but sometimes they developed in the contrary way, i.e., AA *-and *h-may have resulted in AS *-k#. Final AS *- -beside being a natural result of an older nasal (*m, *n) + velar, of course -otherwise usually derives from the contraction of an AA medial nasal (*-m-or *-n-) + lost AA pharyngeal (*, *) or laryngeal (*", *h), cf.already Illi-Svity 1966, 33, fn.11.AS *T = Eg.d ~ t = Brb.*T = Sem.*s Ar. samsama "nager, voguer au milieu des flots" vs. ES *sm: Geez sama "1.immerger, tremper, 2. teindre", Tigrinya sme "plonger, tremper" (Sem.: DRS 1085, 1087).244.AS *Ta "1. to wish (?), 2. beg" [GT 2004, 84]: Angas T "bitte, doch" [Jng
