FYI, I found it; apparently it used to be in the article Ablaut, which has now been renamed Indo-European ablaut. It was moved to the talk page because it didn't tie in too well with the article. (This is a case where the Wikipedia clones -- in this case one called NationMaster -- come in handy. I found the NationMaster page with Google, and as luck would have it, their copy preserves the old Wikipedia wording.)
