Question about European uvular r

[Blaine Erickson]

----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I know I've run across this someplace, but I just can't
remember where.  The uvular _r_s of French & German are
the result of innovation, and the _r_ spread from one language
to the other--but which way was it?  Any references would be
greatly appreciated.

Please send e-mail to me, and I'll post the results.

Best,
