"Shiny metal" compound - is it possible?
PIE Gh'el - shiny, glimmering Late PIE Ayos - metal, mainly copper, or bronze Late PIE Genitive Ayosos

Gh'el-Ayosos - (made) of shiny-copper, transformed from Gentive to a Nominative through frequent use.

Satemised to želaisos Diphtong reduction in Balto-Slavic želaisos > želêzo(s) S> z unaccounted for (the sibilant in this position should technically produce the x sound)

Any views? And if not, why not? Ralphhalgas (talk) 20:34, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
