Hello all,

A question about the old vau (digamma)...

Looking at klaiw - future kausomai.

I guess the stem was originally klaf.  Smyth writes it as "(klau, klaf)".  Is it correct to say that vau WAS consonantal upsilon?  Or was there a separate entity?  What does Smyth mean when he lists the stem as both klau and klaf?  

Thanx.
