Reconstruction notes edit
Matasović reconstructs *trougkaros, without a thematic vowel,[1] but it is morphologically bizarre to do so for a derivative of a thematic adjective and as such will not be followed here. An athematic compound is not required to phonetically explain any descendants.
Derived terms edit
