**ḱerd

Was *-rd even an acceptable end for a word in PIE? David Marjanović (talk) 21:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? CodeCat (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What other examples are there?

(In case it isn't clear, my point is that the loss of the *-d may have a regular reason, not that the reconstruction itself should be questioned. Sorry for the ambiguity.) David Marjanović (talk) 22:18, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome of -Vss and -Vsh₂

This case isn't mentioned in the article, but in the nominative plural of neuter s-stems, the combination -os-h₂ becomes -ōs. Also, in the noun *h₂éwsōs "dawn", there's also -sos-s > -sōs. CodeCat (talk) 19:17, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Second syllable shoot-through

Guys, what's going on with *mḗh₁n̥s 'moon' (allegedly < **méh₁n̥s-s) and is it a bizarre application of Szemerenyi? Like, since syllabic sonorants don't really seem to be able to be lengthened, does it just...add length to the rightmost syllable with a 'true' vowel (and probably *i and *u)?
