Ever since the first studies of the labiovelar stops in Greek, the abnormal dental stop of the enclitic particle in the Aeolic dialect —τε instead of the expected *πε— has been a controversial and not yet resolved problem. The author of this note believes that there are reasons or criteria for phonematic distribution which can account for the phonetic irregularity: the distribution rules in Greek prevent, as seen in *τίτκω > τίκτω cf. ἔτεκον, stop groups of which the second element is not a dental stop; perhaps IE. *ku̯e shifted to Aeolic τε as the only possible form when a stop-ended word preceded the particle. The existence of τε in other contexts may be a fact of secondary order: it prevailed over the also possible *πε because of its validity in any phonic surrounding (i. e. -V + τε and -C + τε, but never -C + **πε). The view here stated presupposes the preservation of the final stops when the labiovelars changed into dental and labial stops; the Mycenaean Greek, which preserves to a great extent the IE labiovelars, provides, because of its very imperfect writing system, no evidence against or in favour of the views which the author holds.
