Abstract
Several sound changes affect the development of inherited laterals in Tibetan: Conrady's law (*ḫl > ld-), Bodman's law (*ml- > md-), and Benedict's law (*lʲ- > ź-). Benedict's law occurred subsequently to both Conrady's and Bodman's laws. Because Conrady's law and Bodman's law do not interact, their relative chronology is not subject to direct exploration. Of several additional hypotheses for sound laws affecting inherited laterals which Jacques (2004) puts forward *rlʲ- > rǰ- appears promising. The three changes affecting laterals occur after Schiefner's (*dz- > z-) and Houghton's law (*ŋʲ- > ñ-) and before Dempsey's law (*-eŋ > -iṅ and *ek > -ig).
