Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/bʰerǵʰ-

Variants?
Is this the most common reconstruction of the PIE word? I've seen at least three others on Wiktionary (Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/bʰərgʰ-, Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/bʰergʰ-, and Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/bʰergʰ), all of which have articles linking to them. --334a (talk) 15:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, PIE has no vowel ə, at least not phonemically. Rather, ə is generally considered to be the pronunciation of the consonant h₁ when it occurs between two consonants. Sometimes of h₂ and h₃ as well, then it's occasionally written ə₁, ə₂, ə₃. As for the difference between g and ǵ, that's a matter of the centum/satem difference. I don't know if there are any satem languages that have descendants of this root, if there are they should probably give the definitive answer. 17:51, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

 * no problem! I'll mention that you might wanna read mw:Manual:Echo for how pings work specifically. You've been pinging me unsuccessfully a bunch lately, and I hate missing when people want my attention. — JohnC5 04:07, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Really? How else am I supposed to notify people if not using ping? --Victar (talk) 04:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry if that was unclear. You should continue pinging people with ping and reply to notify them. I'm saying you need to read the specs for how it works so that it actually pings them. Just a bit ago you added a ping to me in the Etymology Scriptorium which I didn't get because you added it to a preëxisting block of text, and I also didn't get the ping at the top of this conversation because you didn't sign it. All the rules are in that link in my last response. Cheers! — JohnC5 04:19, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, good to know. Thanks. --Victar (talk) 04:27, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
