In Sanskrit, it affects the "infinitives" in -tum, -tave, -tos (not to
be comfused with PIE -*to), agent nouns in -tar and action noun in -ti.
It presumeably would have affected primary suffixes in -p and -c if they
had existed. [-ka seems to occur as primary suffix, but only with a
handful roots ending in vowels, and may very well go back root noun +
secondary suffix ka. This cannot be asserted synchronically because root
nouns ending in short vowels add -t.]

Are there any recent (in the last 2-3 years) about the "new phonologies"?
