Rename to *geH-?[edit]

None of the attested languages distinguish regular velars from labiovelars, so either is possible. But it has been our practice to pick the simpler form in such cases. We have some entries with only centum descendants, using k rather than ḱ for example. —CodeCat 02:07, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Also, Derksen reconstructs this with the final -y- which was removed in the move. —CodeCat 02:09, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@CodeCat Sorry, I was editing it and didn't notice this. Do the new edits clear up your concerns? —JohnC5 03:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
