Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/lelóyse

RFV discussion: November 2016–January 2017
One descendant is not really enough evidence to support a form. —CodeCat 18:30, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The only branch that has any descendants is Germanic, and the only direct descendant is a Gothic hapax legomenon. The two derived verbs, however, are used all the time in their descendants lehren, lernen, etc. Still, reconstructing an entire conjugation based on one Gothic word is like reconstructing an entire animal based on half a fossil jaw. The PIE conjugation should be marked as conjecture, as the Germanic one is, and we need some references for the lexical form, with maybe some alternative reconstructions.
