Yes, mlVko is the (almost) universal Western Slavic template... East Slavic
with its *polnoglasie* (full vowel mVlVko) forms is, it would seem, the
innovator..

And as Western Salvic is that part of Slavdom bordering on Germandom, it is
maybe not inconsequential that we see it also in the "older" *hros* (with
CLVC as also *mloko*) as opposed to *horse* (with CVLC) in Germanic.

MIKE (no liquids, metathesized or other, in my first name... though for
local flavour I sometimes give my family name as Murugan as opposed to
Morgan ;-)
