Talk:bane

I don't understand. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grow. It is stated that English word 'grow' came from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreh₁-, which means to grow, become green, which makes sense since both words start with g-.

However, if you look at English word bane, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bane, it is stated that English word bane came from Proto-Indo-European  *gʷʰen-, which means to 'strike or kill'.

Also, see English word bio-. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bio- It is stated that English word bio- came from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeyh₃-, which means 'to live.'

Is this actually correct? or is it an attempt to force the languages of different countries into one?

Is gʷ= B then??

I know that in the past, W was pronounced like B or V, but why is there G in front of it then? Is G like a silent syllable as in 'know' or 'knowledge' then?

Okay. I guess it's a similar phenomenon like 뼈 and 빠르다.

 * Of course you don't since you have no clue that 1. sound changes are a thing and 2. different languages have different sound changes. Then again, this coming from an editor who implies Proto-Indo-European is a fabrication by "White scholars" on the talk page of an user infamous for adding his own bullshit pseudolinguistic theories. 104.194.8.45 08:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * See this video: Grimm's Law and Intro to Historical Linguistics. There's also Category:Proto-Sino-Tibetan language and Category:Proto-Austronesian language and Category:Proto-Korean language for your information! Stop littering the site with your own confused ideas and read up on scholarly material or books written by serious linguists! 182.172.146.215 10:26, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your information. I have watched two youtube videos that you posted and it was really helpful in understanding how Proto-language is formed. I hope my questions can solve many other people's curiosity. B2V22BHARAT (talk) 04:05, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
