Why wouldn’t this be inherited from PIE?

[edit]

@Victar, you said this isn’t inherited directly from PIE. Seeing as Proto-Germanic is considered the next “step” from PIE in the Germanic family, and it’s derived from a PIE noun, not a root, how would I be able to determine when to use {{der}} vs {{inh}} on these types of things?

Directly inherited means that it only underwent phonetic changes. When the stem is altered, it's no longer directly inherited. --{{victar|talk}} 03:03, 3 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
