This rule is important because it operated after the influx of Proto-Germanic/Gothic thematic neuters, which all became masculines in Proto-Slavic. Late Proto-Germanic (after the operation of Verner's law) had fixed accent on the first syllable. Compare:
PSl. *xlaiwu m 'pigsty' (OCS xlěvъ ) < PGm.*hlaiwąn
PSl. *xūsu/xūzu m 'house' (OCS xyzъ) < PGm. *hūsąn
PSl. *pulku m 'folk, people' (OCS plъkъ) < PGm. *fulkąn
Masculine o-stemsedit
Proto-Slavic masculine o-stems with fixed accent on a non-acute root (accent paradigm b) become mobile-accent (accent paradigm c). This change is also termed "Holzer's metatony", after linguist Georg Holzer who described it.[1]
Older literature suggests that this was not a Common Slavic innovation, and that there are exceptions in some Croatian Čakavian dialects of Susak and Istria, which have retained the original accentuation. This has been recently disputed.[2]
