Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “The ONW uses this as lemma, but such lemmas are often tentative and aren't sufficient proof for a reconstruction. The form cannot be correct because WG *slikkō underwent a-mutation. The correct reconstruction is "slekko" (m.) or less probably "slekka" (f.).”. You may continue to edit this reconstruction entry while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear.
