@JohnC5 PII *ĉ > PIr *ĉ no? 2405:204:939C:1962:0:0:2420:50A5 01:49, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Umm thats exactly what victar's table says, PIE ḱ to PII ĉ to PIr ĉ. Why have you changed Proto-Iranian ĉpaytah to spaytah? @JohnC52405:204:939C:1962:0:0:2420:50A5 08:43, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Look at the consonant clusters section. —JohnC5 14:51, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Non-palatal version?

Do any other branches (IIr.?) show reflexes of a plain, non-palatal *k?

The variation in Balto-Slavic seems kind of crazy ...then again with akmuo / ašmuo maybe it's not such a big deal? Neitrāls vārds (talk) 00:45, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

@Neitrāls vārds: According to Derksen, *ḱ de-palatalized in pre-PBS before *w and a back vowel (*ḱ > *k /_wV_[+back]). 🤷‍♂️ --{{victar|talk}} 23:34, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

d-extension candidates

Forms from Proto-Indo-European *ḱweyd-, sometimes associated with *ḱweyt- within the literature (not universally accepted):

• Balto-Slavic: (possibly, alternatively derived from *sweyd- (“to glare, to glance”) as per Pokorny 1959: p. 1042)
  • Proto-Slavic: *svidъ (“dogwood”) (possibly from *ḱweyd- according to BER)
  • Latvian: svîst (“to glare”), 1p. pres. svîdu
• Germanic:
  • Proto-Germanic: *hwītaz (“white”)
  • Proto-Germanic: *hwaitijaz (“wheat”)
• Indo-Iranian: (does not necessarily need -d-, see Tadesco (1948))
  • Sanskrit: श्विन्द् (śvind, “to be white, to be snowy”) (+n-infix)
