Reconstruction edit

Rix and Derksen reconstruct a laryngeal in the coda because of the Balto-Slavic acute. LIV points that the Albanian data may have originated from *swergʰ (“to ache”).

According to some (e.g. Trubachyov^[1]), the root is an extension of Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to tear”).

Root edit

*derHgʰ-^[2]

to tug, to stretch
