Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-Iranian/Hyaȷ́nás

Iranica Online gives ž in its reconstruction, but I'm inclined to ĵ. The ž seems out of place phonetically and the reflexes support ĵ. What do you think? —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 23:53, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Cheung gives *i̯az "to worship" on pages 219-220, from . In out system, this would render PII *yaĵnás > PIr *yaĵnás. — JohnC5 05:08, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * How are we accounting for the loss of the laryngeal in PII? Incidentally, it looks to be lacking in the Greek cognate as well. --Victar (talk) 15:59, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it helps, but is used in some Sanskrit compounds. Maybe the laryngeal was lost somewhere between PII and Old Indo-Iranian? —Aryamanarora (मुझसे बात करो) 18:02, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay. I've been busy all day. This would be a supposed example of Lubotsky's Law (See the bottom part of this section). I dunno whether people believe this explanation, but Cheung seems fine with it. — JohnC5 05:30, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
