Tagged for speedy, but I'm moving it here. Reason given was "too dubious in form and gender". I'm not sure about this one. Most likely it should be moved to *genetā (with a long ā) and the gender changed to feminine; then the only uncertainty is why the second vowel is e rather than a (as would be expected from *ǵénh₁teh₂. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm moving this to *genetā per Matasović and vote to keep the updated page. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:51, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- The etymology still conflicts, though. —CodeCat 20:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Take another look. It's *genatos that's dubious; Matasović says this has a suffix *-eto-, not the familiar past participle suffix *-to- and compares it to genetaí (“daughter”). —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 20:19, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Retracted my nomination, as the entry has been brought up to standard. —CodeCat 22:11, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
