Thread:User talk:Rua/Change in a notation/reply (9)

Gnosandes, I'm still a student, so I don't feel competent enough to take side on the referred topic. However, allow me to point that ap D and the accent terminology in Slavic is still an active area of research: see M. Kapović (2018), Notes on Historical Slavic Accentology. Since specialists are actively debating, it means that the topic is still open. In addition to ap D, there are also proposals to divide the B paradigm of verbs into B₁ and B₂, and who knows what else. Clearly, we need to draw a line somewhere.

From my personal experience, I can tell that Rua has been constructive, helpful, and patient enough to discuss issues on Balto-Slavic. I'm sure he will prompt any theoretical improvements, once a wide consensus is achieved within the field. Have a little patience.
