Alternative reconstructions

Reconstruction notes

  • The common reconstruction *h₁óh₁ḱus relies on an assumption that this adjective is related to *h₁éḱwos (“horse”).[6] Zair dismisses this reconstruction for requiring an unparalleled o-grade for an *-us adjective, and prefers to leave the laryngeals unknown.
  • If the *h₁óh₁ḱus is not reconstructed, then at least one of the laryngeals must be *h₃ and neither of them can be *h₂.[1][2]

Derived terms
