Notes
  1. ^ Possibly with metathesis, or reflecting the original form of the root. On the other hand, Kloekhorst rejects any possibility that the root in Hittite continues *lewh₃- or *leh₃u-, arguing that it must be reconstructed as *leh₂u-.[2]
  2. ^ See de Vaan for alternative explanations of the original verb.
