Proto-Indo-European

Reconstruction

    On the basis of the geminate "ḫ" in Hittite "ḫuḫḫa-", Kloekhorst concludes that it cannot reflect a diphthong, which is contradicted by Eichner's lenition law. Therefore, he argues that an athematic ablauting paradigm should be reconstructed instead.

    *h₂éwh₂os m (non-ablauting)[1][2]
