This note reacts to an article by Marek Stachowski in Studia Linguistica UIC (no. 127, 2010, pp. 179–186) by suggesting that a phonemic opposition between /b/ and /v/ may be a relatively late development in the world’s known languages and by suggesting that dialectal Turkish goğuz ‘nutshell’ may in some way be etymologically related to certain words in Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, and Persian meaning ‘nut’.
