Lemma[edit]

@JohnC5, should we move this to *-h₃ō or *-Hō? I'm dubious about the existence of that second laryngeal. It would have coloured the inflectional endings and mess up the development in the daughters. I think "h₃" was determined by its assimilatory voicing, but I'm not sure. Also so far I've seen the policy is that PIE suffixes are lemmatized with the nom.sg desinence, so in case we keep the "h₂", where should we move it to? I don't know how Szemerényi's law operates in such consonant cluster. --Tom 144 (𒄩𒇻𒅗𒀸) 03:58, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Now that I gave it a thought, the laryngeal might be based on Brugmann's law. Although I wouldn't know how they determined it was "h₂" specifically. --Tom 144 (𒄩𒇻𒅗𒀸) 04:04, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Tom 144: I think the latter choice while mentioning the former would be appropriate for the reasons you outlined. —*i̯óh₁n̥C[5] 05:25, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
@JohnC5: *-Hō then? --Tom 144 (𒄩𒇻𒅗𒀸) 01:57, 9 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Tom 144: Yessir. —*i̯óh₁n̥C[5] 02:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
