Appendix:Proto-Slavic/vesti

Hi, I am a bit confused by Appendix:Proto-Slavic/vesti. I wanted to add West Slavic descendant words there, then I noticed the English definition of the meaning was, IMHO, wrong, so I changed it. Only then have I noticed you have had renamed the page from *vezti to *vesti (so we have a redirect *vezti->*vesti now). Was the reason that you believed *vesti and *vezti were identical roots? I don't think so, and Appendix:List of Proto-Slavic verbs doesn't either, AFAICT. I think the current state is wrong, but I am not sure how to fix it.

z automatically devoiced to s before t in Proto-Slavic. This doesn't mean that the roots *vez- and *ves- are identical; just that when the infinitive ending *-ti is added, the result is *vesti in both cases.
