This article discusses the phonemic status of reflexes of Proto-Indo-European labiovelars in the Anatolian language group with regard to their diachronic development and the relative chronology of relevant sound changes. This mainly concerns the interaction of labiovelars and the labial
glide with syllabic resonants. The relative chronology points to a separate Proto-Anatolian resyllabification of syllabic resonants in contact with the labial glide and labiovelars, whereas the later syllabic decomposition is its own, probably intra-Anatolian process. This explanation also accounts for the divergent development of a small group of verbs in which resyllabification is blocked in a particular phonetic environment, whereas the o vocalism in the attested reflexes of resyllabification is instead the result of a separate late sound change.
