| Aug 5, 2022 at 15:29 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @Sverre There are two forms of PIE collective ‘plurals’: one which adds a suffix containing -h₂, and one formed by putting the root in the full grade and retracting the accent to it (but leaving the suffix in the o-grade in strong cases). If the base paradigm is proterokinetic (like *u̯ódr̥, *udén- ‘water’), the result is usually amphikinetic (*u̯édōr, *udn-◌́- ‘waters’); if it’s hysterokinetic (like *bʰr̥h₂-tḗr, *bʰr̥h₂-tr-◌́-), the result is usually acrostatic (*bʰréh₂-tōr, *bʰréh₂-tr̥-), perhaps because an amphikinetic paradigm would be indistinguishable in the weak cases. | |
