accent
[edit]Latin clearly reflects *mr̥tis, and also Balto-Slavic *mr̥tís, per its etymology. @Bhagadatta Indo-Iranian seems to reflect it as well? Should we move this? Catonif (talk) 09:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

- No, this is just later leveling. -- Sokkjō 10:13, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Sokkjo You mean it's regular evolution? And if so, can we trace this back as the original accent? Catonif (talk) 10:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

- @Sokkjo I see, thank you, but how can we assume the levelling wasn't already present in the PIE stage? Catonif (talk) 11:38, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Sokkjo, Victar Sorry to bother you again with this, but is the form *mértis found in mainstream sources? I can only find *mr̥tís. Should I take this to WT:ES? Catonif (talk) 09:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
