, Where is it written that the root does not bear diacritics? Your reasoning is unintelligible. For OHG is present in the phylogenetic tree. Gnosandes (talk) 18:37, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * See all Indo-European root entries only consonants bear diacritics. Only in full words do vowels have diacritics. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 18:45, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , This is not convincing. Because this is not written even in WT:AINE. Gnosandes (talk) 19:31, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You can ask anyone that work in Indo-European if acented vowels are to be included in roots. WT:AINE does say "Fully-formed words (as opposed to roots) have an inherent accent, which should be present in the page name. You may add a word without an accent if you don't know where the accent should be placed, but when the accent placement becomes known the entry should be moved/renamed to reflect this.". 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 20:39, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm not going to ask, however there is no prohibition on so, I can put accent on this root. Gnosandes (talk) 20:58, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * WT:AINE says that "Fully-formed words have accent"; but is also includes, "as opposed to roots", meaning roots don't have accents. It doesn't have a clear "roots don't have accents" or "you mustn't include diacritics on roots" but if says "as opposed to roots" when saying that words have accent, it clearly tells that roots don't have accents. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 21:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , This is not convincing. For it is not exactly spelled out. Gnosandes (talk) 11:15, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The meaning of "Fully-formed words (as opposed to roots) have an inherent accent..." is pretty clear. I can give you an example, "spiders have more than four legs (as opposed to dogs)" so does the example say that dogs can have more than four legs? IMO WT:AINE clearly says that roots don't have accents and PIE root entries here abide by that decision; meaning I am not the only one that understood it as such. "As opposed to" has a clear meaning in English that the substantive that follows afters doesn't conform to the rule stated beforehand. Therefore, WT:AINE is saying that roots don't have accents. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 17:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , It doesn't say that roots can't have an accent. And WT:AINE doesn't forbid it. Again, I repeat that I can put an accent on the root. At the same time, you make a gross mistake comparing a spider with a dog. The science of biology should say Hello to you. Gnosandes (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You didn't understand my argument. I have already told you what WT:AINE says about accent on roots; if you want a literal saying that root can't or can have accents I am more than willing to go to Beer parlour to resolve this issue. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 18:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , Your arguments are very strange. You can go to the Beer parlour and solve the problem there. This is not written in WT:AINE. Gnosandes (talk) 18:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 18:37, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've moved this dicussion to the Beer parlour. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 19:14, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
