Aug 30, 2016 at 15:18 comment added archenoo @TKR, you are right, this is indeed a paper review question, the paper I linked here is really interesting to read, and the method of connecting multiple PIE roots is impressive, although maybe not very convincing. In conclusion, I feel like finding an paper review answer.

Aug 29, 2016 at 17:11 comment added TKR I think the reason you're not getting answers is that your question basically boils down to "Is this paper's argument correct", which is more a prompt for discussion than an easily answered factual question.

Aug 22, 2016 at 12:41 comment added archenoo Hi @fdb, the word interformant I use here is from page 3 of that paper, where the author uses another word preformant that I also don't understand.
Aug 22, 2016 at 12:00 comment added archenoo @TKR, cognate used here is to mean the etymological relation among PIE roots, and as you say, these 2 examples are wrong, but this paper gives much more pairs of such relations, which seems worthy to evaluate, so I want to know how many of them are reliable.
Aug 22, 2016 at 11:47 comment added archenoo Hi @TKR ! I find *seh₂g- at wiktionary, which has an alternative reconstruction *seh₂ǵ-
Aug 22, 2016 at 11:35 comment added fdb Why do you want s to be an "interformant" rather than a prefix?
Aug 21, 2016 at 17:13 comment added TKR If so, *weid- "see" and *h₂eǵ- "drive" are common and uncontroversial, but *sueid- "shine" is marked as doubtful in LIV (the IE verb root dictionary), and *sh₂(e)ǵ- is not listed at all.
Aug 21, 2016 at 17:02 comment added TKR Your examples aren't cognates; cognates are words in different languages that descend from the same word in the ancestor language. Are you asking whether the specific roots you list in the question are widely accepted?
