Weik

I'm pretty sure it's *weik-potis, not *weykpotis, per [1][2] and the initial academic sources I provided. EliasAlucard / Discussion 12:18, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

That's just a matter of spelling, though, not of any actual difference in reconstruction. Different sources use different representations of the sounds of PIE. For example, one might use bh, dh, gh while another uses bʰ, dʰ, gʰ, and one might use ei, oi while another uses ey, oy. For the sake of consistency, there is a standard spelling that we use on Wiktionary, which is documented on WT:AINE. That doesn't mean Wiktionary endorses any particular reconstruction, only how to write it. —CodeCat 14:16, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
