Proto-Balto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *h₃mígʰleh₂ (“mist, cloud”).
Reconstruction
R. Derksen reconstructs the stress on the ending in the Proto-Balto-Slavic wordform,[1][2] apparently completely ignoring Dybo's law in the Proto-Slavic language, and de Saussure's law in the Lithuanian language, in order to break open the Illich-Svitych' system.[3] It also ignores the typical comparison of the Lithuanian 2 (> 4) stress pattern with the Proto-Slavic accent paradigm b. Perhaps, this was done in order to fit and reconstruct the ending stress in the Proto-Indo-European *h₃migʰléh₂ as required by mainstream Indo-European theory.
However, this reconstruction of the stress is contradicted by the Ancient Greek stress in the wordform ὀμίχλη (omíkhlē).[4] Also, if you don't ignore the above accentological laws, then in the Proto-Balto-Slavic wordform, the stress is reconstructed at the root.[5] This corresponds to the Ancient Greek stress. To compare with *wáljāˀ.
