1. , Final Voiceless Velar Fricative -) Stop

In response to a query about any language where a final voiceless
velar fricative changed regularly to a stop, Wayles Browne supplied
the example of some Montenegrin dialects of Serbo-Croatian.

I have also found that some southern Polish dialects exhibit an
identical sound change, as discussed in:
