In conclusion coexistance of words with metathesis and without metathesis
must have existed even before the Angles and Saxons went to Britain (e.g.
"-thorp/-dorp" vs. "-throp/-drup" in placenames).

Marcus Buck

Hi,

Yes. Confer place-names like 'Born'.
There was a time that there was a communis opinio that this r was a vocalic
r, so the r could come on both sides of the r.
[This is not the same as metathesis.]
Don't know whether this vocalic r still has broader support.

vr.gr.
