Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/dʰrā́ks

Blatantly inaccurate reconstruction
Germanic form *drōhs plainly points to PIE *dʰreh₂ks. Request to move to. Saph668 (talk) 22:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Or move to *dʰreh₂gʰs as that seems to be the underlying source. Saph668 (talk) 22:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * The descendants require an *ā ~ *a paradigm. Zero-grade *-reh₂- would become syllabic resonant *-r̥h₂-, which doesn't work for the other derivatives. -- 20:36, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Should the Germanic desc be marked as uncertain? I don't see any other plausible derivations for it, given the *ō. Also, Orel doesn't even have an entry for the word in his Handbook of Germanic Etymology, nor Kroonen in Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic. Saph668 (talk) 22:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * PIE *ā and *eh₂ both yield PG *ō. -- 22:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, nevermind then. Saph668 (talk) 23:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
