| Description | The paper aims at the four different sources of the Slavic clusters st and analyses them in the diachronic contexts according to their origins (< IE *st, *št, *?t, *Tt). The IE cluster *st is fully preserved, the late IE cluster *št is depalatalized as is the sat?m-cluster *?t (which has merged with *št in almost all sat?m-languages). The cluster *Tt regularly developed into st in Balto-Slavic, Indo-Iranian (and Greek), into 0s in Albanian and u?t in Armenian – the Armenian development forces us to prefer the spirantization trajectory of the development of this cluster (as stated earlier by Bartholomae for Indo-Iranian) over the traditional “Brugmannian” affricativization trajectory. |
