Proto-Indo-European

Reconstruction

A hotly disputed root. Derksen prefers to reconstruct *perH-, to which he also assigns Slavic *pero. Matasovic reconstructs *perHt-. Kroonen reconstructs *pterH- under the assumption of a connection with Ancient Greek πτέρις (ptéris), a connection Derksen and Matasovic do not find phonologically likely; Beekes considers the term a later Greek formation. The only point of agreement between them is that the majority of descendants generally assigned to this root, with the exception of πτέρις (ptéris), are definitively cognate.
