Reconstruction talk:Proto-Balto-Slavic/wārús

RFD discussion: December 2019–August 2023
The Lithuanian form has a short vowel rather than the long one that this form predicts. The Slavic noun is an o-stem according to Derksen, not a u-stem. Too many discrepancies to reconstruct a PBS form if you ask me. —Rua (mew) 21:30, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

 * So which of them is correct? —Rua (mew) 21:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Nikolaev is looking at the data of the dialects. Derksen had apparently(?) never worked with them. I don't know.
 * *vȃrъ, gen, varũ. -ũ, with old traces of the dominant valence [+]. Proto-Balto-Slavic *wā̂ru-, the (AP) 2 Proto-Balto-Slavic accent paradigm (mobile accent). -ũ > -u with late recessive valence [-], also as in Wiktionary.
 * See also: Dybo (2012) Proto-Balto-Slavic accentology system, and the results of the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European accentological system.
