@Victar What of *(H)n̥dʰér(i)? Can it be *h₁én and this root? As if "put in(side)"..."more put in(side)/down"? -GuitarDudeness (talk) 08:44, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- @GuitarDudeness: Linguists are pretty much in agreement that the first element is *h₁én (“in, downward”), but the second is less clear. It could simply be a alternation/dissimilation of *h₁n̥tér, *h₁n̥téri, locative of *h₁n̥ter-. --
{{victar|talk}}19:49, 27 January 2019 (UTC) - @GuitarDudeness, I put some more effort into the entry. --
{{victar|talk}}09:20, 28 January 2019 (UTC)- @Victar: Excellent! Thank you. But cannot it simply be from *h₁én (redundant with *h₁néri)? As this, so *upéri would be locative case of *upo (or *ups seen in Latin sus < subs) with similar reversion of meaning (in/over > from over > down, under > from under > up)? -GuitarDudeness (talk) 15:45, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- @GuitarDudeness: The adverbial suffix *-dʰe attaches to the full grade and **h₁éndʰe doesn't work for its descendants. It also fits better, semantically. --
{{victar|talk}}16:29, 28 January 2019 (UTC) - @GuitarDudeness, I created an entry for *dʰe. --
