Thread:User talk:CodeCat/h₁reudʰ- or h₁rewdʰ-?

Hi! I write here because I saw that it was you who started the page for the PIE root for red,.

In a lot of other places I found this root as h₁reudʰ-, with u instead of w. Indeed, I could not find a single other page with Google that has this root with w that is not Wiktionary, a Wiktionary mirror or a partial copy of a Wiktionary page.

That made me really curious what might be your source for this w form. Do you happen to remember? I know, knowledge about PIE is progressing, and it might well be that you consulted the most recent and thus the best information available.

I think that it does make a difference to have w or u there and it is thus worthwhile to look for the best available reconstruction of this root, but I am not completely sure. That PIE stuff is quite new for me ...
