"Derived" vs. "Descended"
Shouldn't this say terms "descended" from a PIE root and be placed in the Descendants header? — JohnC5 21:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * A root is a morphological thing, and it doesn't exist as a distinct word in a language. So nothing can actually descend from a root. Rather, new words are derived from the root at some point, and then those have descendants. —CodeCat 22:05, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. — JohnC5 22:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
