first words

[masmo at lingua.filg.uj.edu.pl]

I am afraid I forgot what the first words of my sons were, but I have 
recently noted the two first (Polish) words of my granddaughter Helenka.
They were exact homophones and sounded [ko]. 
One meant "oko" (eye), the other "kot" (cat). 
Her subsequent "first" words seemed to be picked up 
according to her preference for velar consonants. 
I found it VERY anti-Jakobsonian.
