Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/p(t)erH-

Reconstruction
A hotly disputed root. Derksen prefers to reconstruct, to which he also assigns Slavic. Matasovic reconstructs *perHt-. Kroonen reconstructs *pterH- under the assumption of a connection with Ancient Greek, a connection Derksen and Matasovic do not find phonologically likely; Beekes considers the term a later Greek formation. The only point of agreement between them is that the majority of descendants generally assigned to this root, with the exception of, are definitively cognate.
