摘要：This paper deals with the Mycenaean representatives of three IE verbal roots: *terku̯ - ‘twist’, *trep- ‘turn’ and *stregu̯h - ‘turn, rotate’. Mycenaean data show that the derivatives of *terku̯ - were still differentiated before the loss of labiovelar stops in post-Mycenaean times and that the verb στρέφω ‘turn, twist, rotate’ stems from *stregu̯h -. Semantic interference among these roots is already underway in the Mycenaean period, anticipating the convergence of *terku̯ - with *trep- and *stregu̯h - in the first millennium.
