-**Gutturals replaced by labiovelar or sibilant fricatives. In these dialects, gutturals never developed in the first place (spirantized velars became labiovelar or sibilant fricatives).
+<!--
+*Alternative pathways of spirantization. For example:
+**Velar and/or labial stops become sibilants before *i (instead of postalveolar/labiodental fricatives).
+**Velar and/or labial stops become sibilants before *u (instead of guttural/labiodental fricatives).
+**Alveolar and/or velar stops become labiodental fricatives before *u (instead of sibilant/guttural fricatives).
