@Chuterix https://oncoj.ninjal.ac.jp/list_of_words_English.html has ito "thread" and not **itwo. So the PJ reconstruction is *itə. Kwékwlos (talk) 12:49, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- FWIW, that ONCOJ list has both ito and itwo. The point of note here is that itwo is only attested in Eastern Old Japanese (EOJ). The word 糸 (ito, itwo, “thread”) appears only once in phonetic man'yōgana anywhere in the MYS, in poem 20.4405 with the spelling 伊刀 (ito₂). Books 14 and 20 are all EOJ. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:14, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
