Another aside: _How_, just how, do things like Proto-IE *dw and *bhr
become Armenian *rk and *lb?
I don't know for *bhr, but I know nearly by heart how *dw evolved
into *rk in Armenian. My example is IE *dwo (two) becoming
*erku in Armenian:
I'm not entirely sure, but *bhr > lb looks like a simple metathesis
*bhr > rbh followed by a change r > l and bh > b.
