*meh₂ḱ-
Reconstruction notes[edit]
The LIV notes that the only satem language evidence for the palatal *ḱ comes from Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬯- (mas-, “great”) and its derivatives. The LIV attributes this word to a dialectal variant of Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬰- (maz-) from *méǵh₂s. This would also help explain the short root vowel found throughout the Avestan forms. If Avestan does not belong here, then *meh₂k- could very well be the correct form.[1]
