Thread:User talk:CodeCat/"not a root"/reply (2)

I agree on all points that this form is low-quality as an IE reconstruction. What surprises me is the practice that an individual's editorial judgment is good enough to reject a reconstruction that appears in a reputable source.

Also, if the policy were that being securely traced to a root (with just one phonemic vowel) was necessary for a reconstruction to deserve an entry, I'd have to call that too dogmatic. That would make us get rid of the entry for *kʷetwóres!
