"skʷetlom" meaning in Proto-Celtic

See skʷetlom in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: A simple derivation from Proto-Indo-European *sekʷ- (“to say”) seems obvious, but the labiovelar seems to have lost its labialization in Brittonic; otherwise a p would have appeared. There are many ways to account for the delabialization: * Schrijver presumes delabialization in this word happened at the Proto-Celtic level, yielding *sketlom. * Matasović thinks a metathesis occurred; his own scenario of *skʷ > *xs- is implausible, since he cannot find a source for the following /w/. One can salvage his metathesis idea by instead positing *sékʷtlom > *sextlom > *sketlom, which would account for the odd position of the *e and apparent zero-grade root for a *-tlom noun.
