FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Weise's epitaph in Eisenberg, Germany

In historical linguistics, Weise's law describes the loss of palatal quality
some consonants undergo in specific contexts in the Proto-Indo-European
language. In short, when the consonants represented by *ḱ *ǵ *ǵʰ, called
palatovelar consonants, are followed by *r, they lose their palatal quality,
leading to a loss in distinction between them and the plain velar consonants *k
*g *gʰ. Some exceptions exist, such as when the *r is followed by *i or when the
palatal form is restored by analogy with related words. Although this sound
change is most prominent in the satem languages, it is believed that the change
must have occurred prior to the centum–satem division, based on an earlier sound
change which affected the distribution of Proto-Indo-European *u and *r. The law
is named after the German linguist Oskar Weise (epitaph pictured), who first
postulated it in 1881 as the solution to reconciling cognates in Ancient Greek
and Sanskrit. (Full article...)

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Garry Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand during the Classical World Chess
Championship 1995

The World Chess Championship has taken several distinct forms since Wilhelm
Steinitz defeated Johannes Zukertort in an 1886 match to become the first
undisputed World Chess Champion. Following a period of private organization and
sponsorship, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) began organizing
Championship events under its auspices following the end of World War II,
instituting a regular cycle of tournaments held to determine the challenger for
each Championship match. In the 1990s, FIDE faced competition with the Classical
Chess Championship inaugurated by former FIDE Champion Garry Kasparov, and began
experimenting with the format by organizing several Championships as tournaments
instead of as matches. The title was ultimately reunited under FIDE via the
World Chess Championship 2006, in which the Classical Champion Vladimir Kramnik
defeated the FIDE Champion Veselin Topalov in match play. (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Wait for Me, Daddy is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff of The Province on
October 1, 1940, of the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own)
marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Street intersection, New
Westminster, British Columbia. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren
"Whitey" Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard.
The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives.
