Moreover, I propose an etymology for the root *peh₂- ‘to feed, to pasture, to protect’.

You may call this phenomenon reciprocal sandhi.

This makes it possible to considerably reduce the number of ‘original’ PIE roots, if such ones had ever existed.

Neither did these forms fall out of thin air.

OI andhá- ‘blind, dark’ has a lot more cognates than one thinks.

But the ultimate answer to that question is still a PIE in the sky.

This is a short note about a couple of PIE forms that I relate to *bʰeu̯h₂- ‘to be, to exist’.

This is a list of examples displaying the metathesis of n caused by the accented root extension.
