• Description: The paper examines the assumed “Balto-Slavic” unity from the point of the development of the two-obstruent clusters, showing that there is no special development of these clusters, unique for the Balto-Slavic, but various developments are either solely specific for a given branch (either Baltic or Slavic) or universally shared with other sat?m-languages
