Mismatch between reconstruction and proposed descendants
[edit]Although the listed descendants are obviously akin, I don't see how they would descend from a simple (bharati-type) thematic present. Slavic displays 0-grade (tudati-type) thematic present, Baltic displays secondary ye-present, and in Old English only the participle is attested. I would personally derived the Balto-Slavic data from an underlying aorist and Old English as a secondary denominal. 2A02:C7C:3848:1700:C5D4:445B:38AB:79A2 10:05, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
