Blatantly inaccurate reconstruction[edit]
Germanic form *drōhs plainly points to PIE *dʰreh₂ks. Request to move to *dʰreh₂ks. Saph668 (talk) 22:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Or move to *dʰreh₂gʰs as that seems to be the underlying source. Saph668 (talk) 22:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- The descendants require an *ā ~ *a paradigm. Zero-grade *-reh₂- would become syllabic resonant *-r̥h₂-, which doesn't work for the other derivatives. --
{{victar|talk}}20:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)- Should the Germanic desc be marked as uncertain? I don't see any other plausible derivations for it, given the *ō. Also, Orel doesn't even have an entry for the word in his Handbook of Germanic Etymology, nor Kroonen in Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic. Saph668 (talk) 22:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- PIE *ā and *eh₂ both yield PG *ō. --
