Possibly reanalyzed root of *(s)penh₁-(“to spin (thread); to stretch”) plus a suffix similar to *-dʰh₁eti, but not identical to it in view of the Balto-Slavic accent. Alternatively, a variant of the former root via the Kortlandt effect, which proposes that PIE *d becomes *h₁ under certain circumstances.
*(s)pen-dʰ(h₁)-(assuming the more common suffix *-dʰh₁eti, with possible laryngeal deletion from the root, but likely conflicting with accentual evidence)
