No worries, but we will want to update civis as it is using that PIE root as well. Djkcel (talk) 23:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

But, on second thought, de Vaan is using *(s)kew- (to lie down, settle; home, family; love; beloved) for *keiwis. Djkcel (talk) 23:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@JohnC5:, @Embryomystic:, what do you guys think? Does civis << *keiwis << *(s)kew- (to lie down, settle; home, family; love; beloved) present a tenable lineage? Or maybe it's *ḱey- (to lie down) as in Latin cunae. Djkcel (talk) 23:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Djkcel: De Vaan doesn't use or mention *(s)kew- at all. He uses *ḱey- (*ḱey-wo-)... —*i̯óh₁nC[5] 06:38, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
