Reconstruction notes

edit
  • The initial laryngeal must be *h₁,[1] not the *h₂ suggested by Beekes,[3] or else the Celtic reflexes of the verb would have the wrong vowel; the Celtic verb would surface as **yaigeti with *h₂ and **yoigeti with *h₃.
  • Many authors[4][5][6][7] have left the laryngeal unspecified before the Celtic reflexes were established as derived from this root.
