Hi. Should PIE *ḱr̥h₂os- (s-stem) be listed under Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂- or Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂s-? That form is the ancestor of the Indo-Iranian words for “head”.

I don't see why not.

My question was under which root, the first one or the second one? I am not familiar with the rules of PIE derivation.

After a closer look, I think Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂s- should be merged with Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂-. What do you think?

I don't see why. They're different roots, even if they might be related.

Which descendants point to Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱerh₂s-? Only Germanic and Latin cerebrum?

I guess so? But the question, perhaps, is whether this is a new root or merely an existing root with some kind of suffix.

Nussbaum has a whole book dedicated to this root. I haven't read it. Let's keep everything on one page until someone sorts things out.
