There is some trace evidence to suggest an original heteroclitic*wr̥-stem, the suffix of which then metathesized to *-ru (as if it were a *u-stem of *h₂eḱr-), paralleling *smóḱwr̥ > pre-Sanskrit *smóḱru. However, contradicting this is the Hittite descendant, which would have to have undergone the same remodeling for unknown reasons.[3]
