Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/h₂élbʰit
Latest comment: 4 years ago by Chegemoy in topic Uncited source
@Victar: What is the standpoint of Wiktionary regarding the extensions Proto-Indo-European *-it and Proto-Indo-European *-ut? Some scholars interpret them as nominalizer suffixes to adjectival roots. In particular, at p. 14 of [1], Pooth claims that *h₂élbʰit is a nominalization of *h₂élbʰos (“white”) + *-it. Do you know if there is wide enough acceptance of this viewpoint? PS If we accept that the primary meaning was the white one, then Proto-Germanic *albits (“swan”) is also a descendant. 95.42.64.138 11:09, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

[edit]@Anylai, Crom daba Nobody answered to my comment above, yet. Anyway. Why is Hyllestedt unquoted in this entry? He presumes a PT origin for h₂élbʰit. —Chegemoy (talk) 13:10, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
