Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/néh₂s

The Ringe citation is incorrect

Ringe reconstructs this as an ablauting *a ~ *ā paradigm (Ringe 2017:15; see also Griepentrog 1995 w/ references, Rasmussen 1989:260), not as *neh₂s-; I'm not sure why his book is used as a source for the latter... It should be noted that it can be considered a minority opinion that there were ablauting *a ~ *ā roots in PIE, but there are at least a few (good) scholars who believe in them, as the strict interpretation and application of the comparative method may require their existence for certain lemmata.
