What is IE \*pt IN SLAVIC about?

Recent decades have yielded a considerable increase in the scholarly Output on historical linguistics. Unfortunately, the quantitative growth has not been accompanied by a preservation of qualitative Standards. Much recent work betrays a lack of methodological training and scientific rigour. As an example of the kind of work which I have in mind I will discuss H. D. PohFs article on the fate of \*pt in Slavic (1980). Pohl adduces the following material: (1) ob-yields o-before a consonant. (2) kyta, \*kystb, SCr. klta, Ukr. ktfta, Po. &i&, Ru. kist'. Unlike Arumaa, who reconstructs \*kwp-tä and \*Jcwp-sti-and compares OHG. scoub (1976 : 139), Pohl posits \*kub-t-for both forme, not accounting for the absence of s in the former and its presence in the latter word. He writes: "Arumaa behandelt beide an verschiedenen Stellen, daher ist ihm der Zusammenhang entgangen" in spite of the fact that Arumaa mentions both words in a single sentence, referring to Vasmer (19S3 : 562), who discusses both words on the same page with cross-references. ( ) Ru-CS. dlato < \*dolbtk-to-9 OPr. dalptan, Sin. dolbsti. Pohl mentions neither SO. dliföto, Sin. dUto, Gz. dlato, Po. dlulo, nor Ru» dolbit', Gz.
