Appendix talk:Proto-Indo-European/pasto-

Form
It doesn't really look like all of these words can be related. de Vaan gives or  for the Latin form. Martirosyan assumes pre-IE loan words for the Armenian and Germanic, and possibly Indo-Iranian, forms. Kroonen gives, from an assumed earlier for the Germanic and Armenian forms.

 * Latin and possibly Indo-Iranian are not related, but the connection between Germanic and Armenian is accepted virtually by everyone. I'll ask Martirosyan what he thinks of Kroonen's recent proposal. If he has changed his mind, we can move the entry to and list only Germanic and Armenian. --Vahag (talk) 20:51, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Anglom (talk) 21:32, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Martirosyan says that pace Kroonen the substrate origin is more likely, because if Kroonen is removing Sanskrit we are only left with two branches, which isn't sufficient for reconstructing a PIE root.
 * Since *pasto- is unreliable, I propose to delete this page and to mention it without linking in the etymology of, like I did in . --Vahag (talk) 12:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't really have anything to add, the etymology looks as good as it can get for now. Anglom (talk) 00:41, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
