    Reconstruction notes

    edit

    Although this word is widely attested, there is no trace of the e-grade (*gʷéw-) (except perhaps in the oblique Indo-Iranian stem gav-, through the absence of Brugmann's law), which is unexpected. Because of this, and in order to connect it to the stem *gʷeh₃- (“to graze”) (βόσκω (bóskō)), it is reconstructed by some as a proterokinetic u-stem *gʷéh₃-u-s.[3][4]
