Reconstruction talk:Proto-Germanic/bladą

Is it certain that this lemma continues ? Except for the grade, this construction is identical with 🇨🇬 which bears quite a different meaning from ... Don't we exaggerate a little too much the potential connection with 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬?

Perhaps, if there were other examples where two different grades of the same morphological construct yield noticeably different meanings, it would be more believable to trust the proposed reconstruction. Can anyone give such an example?

PS I just checked Orel's Proto-Germanic Dictionary (p. 46) and apparently, Germanic is cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. I don't see a reason, though, why all of these lemmas should reflect exactly. They could alternatively be from (>  for the  pre-Germanic case) or something of this sort. Neither the Germanic, nor the Tocharian data suffice to distinguish the two constructions.
