@CodeCat, JohnC5: The accent is on the final syllable in both Greek and Sanskrit. Shouldn't we be reconstructing this entry as *sweh₂dús, as it used to be? --Victar (talk) 16:29, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Victar: This is one of those case where we believe that the oblique cases with the oxytonic stress leveled across the paradigm in the descendants as opposed to proposing that the *u was stressed in the zero-grade. —JohnC5 19:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
@CodeCat, JohnC5, Victar I have added Avestan 𐬵𐬎𐬛𐬆𐬨𐬀 ('a sweet' as per the 2nd vol. of Mayrhofer's Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Altindoarischen, p. 789). BUT this root is also found at: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/sweh%E2%82%82d- as *swaHd- Gfarnab
- @Gfarnab: Yeah, I don't know why you did that. —JohnC5 20:02, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
