There have been many attempts to define conditions for these laws to explain the inconsistencies, but they are plagued by counterexamples. I will argue that these inconsistencies are cause by Indo-European having two short O vowels: • Close short “non-apophonic” *o̱ (/o/ or /ʊ/) • Open short “apophonic” *o (/ɔ/ or /ɒ/). They show different ablaut patterns and are used in different parts of the derivative morphology of Indo-European. These O vowels behave differently under branch specific sound-laws in Anatolian, Indo-Iranian, Greek and Italic. The two O vowels also have different reflexes when adjacent to the laryngeal *h₂.

I will argue that these inconsistencies are cause by Indo-European having two short O vowels:
• Close short “non-apophonic” *o̱ (/o/ or /ʊ/)
• Open short “apophonic” *o (/ɔ/ or /ɒ/).
They show different ablaut patterns and are used in different parts of the derivative morphology of
Indo-European. These O vowels behave differently under branch specific sound-laws in Anatolian,
Indo-Iranian, Greek and Italic. The two O vowels also have different reflexes when adjacent to the
laryngeal *h₂.
