Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/h₃dónts

Alternative reconstructions

 * *h₁dónts ~ *h₁dn̥tés

Etymology
Ultimately an active participle of the root. This noun is usually reconstructed with the initial *h₁ and thus explained as active participle of the verb. However, Aeolic appears to be a folk-etymological adaptation to, and the initial  is hence no evidence for *h₁-. 🇨🇬 also points to *h₃-, as well as a prefixed Greek derivative, which requires *n̥-h₃d- (where */h₃/ was regularly vocalized to ό in interconsonantal position).

Noun

 * 1)  tooth
