This will not pass the criteria for wide attestation. There are also no references, which some higher-ranked members dislike viciously. It's not also certain that *weydʰ- is the correct form of the root. *h₁weydʰ- = *dwi + *dʰh₁- (locative marker) with assimilation of the onset #d-(D) > #h₁- is alternatively reconstructed. Kroonen reconstructs meaning "to set apart".

Other descendants of *(h₁)weydʰ- may be:

  • *wid-u-s
    • Proto-Germanic: *widuz (wood)[1]
    • Proto-Balto-Slavic: *widus (interior)[2]
      • Latvian: vidus (middle, center)
      • Lithuanian: vidùs (interior)
    • Proto-Celtic: *vidus[3]
      • Irish: fíd (forest)
      • Welsh: gwyd (trees)
  • *h₁widʰéwh₂

Unsorted (e-grade):

  • Proto-Germanic: *wīdaz (wide)
  • Proto-Celtic: *wēdus (wild)[4] (possibly)

I'll not bother editing, because most likely it'll be deleted but in case it passes, just copy the above forms. — This unsigned comment was added by Bezimenen (talkcontribs) at 13:38, 29 November 2019.
