Indo-Iranian

[Rick Mc Callister]

Looking at Watkins's chart of correspondences
IE	Sanskrit	Avestan		Old Persian	OCS	Lithuanian
k	s'		s		th		s	s
kw	k/c		k/c		k		k/c^/c	k
g	j		z/g		g/d		z	z
gw	g/j		g/j		g/j		g/z^/z	g
gh	h		g/z		g/d		z	z
gwh	gh/h		g/j		g/j		g/z^/z	g

	Why does Old Persian look as far removed [or more] from Avestan as
any of the others? What's the time difference? Is the difference between
Avestan and Old Persian as great as the chart would indicate?
