Descendants from both *ǵʰortos, *ǵʰordʰos and *ǵʰr̥dʰos are conflated in this list. I suggest a neutral name for the page *ǵʰ(o)rCos instead of splitting. It makes sense to treat them together because likely there was a single form, but the participle of *ǵʰer- and/or perhaps pronunciation of the original root noun *ǵʰordʰs have caused mixing in the daughters. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 04:05, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@CodeCat, JohnC5: why isn't it *ǵʰórtos? --Barytonesis (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because of the idea that Germanic *gardaz comes from it. —Rua (mew) 13:36, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Except Germanic can equally be derived from *gʰerdʰ-, and in fact that's what Kroonen says and this is why it's listed under that root now, not here, so there is no reason anymore for the final accent. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:49, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
