Reconstruction notes
Sometimes (more traditionally) hypothesized to be its own root in o-grade, though this does not easily account for the lengthened grades. Contrarily, reconstructions with a coda laryngeal struggle to explain the reflexes with a short root vowel, but these may be explained either as dialectal pretonic shortening (Dybo's law) or as deletion of the second laryngeal in the cluster, both of which are controversial as sound laws. The values of both laryngeals remain uncertain.

Kroonen, comparing this set with 🇨🇬, reconstructs the root alternatively as with derivatives  and.
