Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/ɣlaðros

A user has added this reconstruction page to requests for deletion(+).
Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “Ad-hoc etymology to support a problematic link between the Latin and PIE; relies on a single descendant, with which it is hardly even compatible (Latin *laber is expected).”. You may continue to edit this reconstruction page while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear. Do not remove the {{rfd}} until the debate has finished.
