| dc.description.abstract | Beside forms derived from proto-Slavonic kъ, there are also other ones and among them ku/to testified in Polish, Slovak, Czech, Lower-Lusatian, and Old-Russian. Because in Old-Church-Slavonic only kъ occurs, it is widely known that ku is an explained in different ways innovation in relation to kъ. The author is the only linguist who thinks that chronological relation between these two forms is opposite that is kъ derived from ku as the result of what the author terms irregular phonetic development caused by frequency. In order to support the opinion the author sets forth an argument that one cannot maintain that ku was derived by adding the preposition u/at to k, because if one adds po/on to przez/across, then poprzez and not przezpo will be derived. Consequently, if u had been added to k, then uk and not ku would have been derived. | en_EN |
