  • Doesn't the Proto-Slavic *a come from PIE long vowels (like PIE *ā, *ō, *ē), not from the PIE short *a as you have it in the «PIE ū / wa»?

    At face value (I’m not great with Slavic, never have been), ū/wā looks like it would be PIE *-uh2/*-u̯eh2, zero- and full-grade forms of a feminine u-stem. The personal pronoun forms aren’t regular in PIE either – it’s not even certain whether the nominative was *tu, *tū or *tuh2 (some have even argued that the base vowel was *i). It’s fairly well agreed-upon, though, that the vowel in the strong case forms acted much like a thematic vowel, so the dative was something like *t(u̯)oi̯. Wiktionary has a decent overview of some of the suggested reconstructions (under *túh2).
