On Indo-European e ~ o.

Abstract

The proposal of Schmitt–Brandt (1973) of tracing most of the /e/ and /o/ documented in Indo–European languages to an ancient short tonic */a/ and to an unstressed */a/ respectively is beset with numerous difficulties, while many indications, on the contrary, rather point to the fact that the historical /e/ had its main origin in an ancient short but unstressed */a/, and the historical /o/ likewise in an ancient brief but tonic */a/.La propuesta de Schmitt–Brandt (1973) de remontar la mayoría de las /e/ documentadas en las lenguas indoeuropeas a una antigua */a/ breve tónica choca con numerosas dificultades, mientras que muchos indicios apuntan más bien a que la histórica /e/ tuvo su principal origen en una antigua */a/ breve, sí, pero átona, y la histórica /o/ en una antigua */a/ breve, sí, pero tónica
