1It’s probably a law named after someone, since pretty much every development in Indo-European studies ends up being Someone’s Law – but I don’t know whose. As a general development, it’s just prenasal raising. – Janus Bahs Jacquet Mar 12 '22 at 12:01

It doesn't have a name. We just say and remember the rule along the lines of what you describe.
