Reconstruction notes
- Matasović wrongly assigns Brittonic derivatives of *uɸoreteti (“to help”) to this word. This error is not corrected in his corrigenda.
- The correct Brittonic cognates are listed by Schrijver (1996); Matasović also cites Schrijver, making the wrong assignment of cognates baffling.
