Talk:Proto-Indo-European root

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good start. Well done. Needs a bit more explanation, though. Why can a word not start and end with the same consonant? But all very interesting. --Doric Loon 21:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I know, it's just a stub. I finally wanted to get rid of the list we exported to wiktionary, and have a short article in its place. needs work. A good explanation of root structure is in Rix et al. 2001. dab (𒁳) 11:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wrong constraints

the root constraints are wrong. the correct rule is

• no two plain voiced stops
• no voiceless with voiced aspirate (except when an s precedes, e.g. stebh-)

I need help. I get many boxes instead of characters reading the Indo-European language transcriptions. Any suggestions?

(1) Make sure you have a font installed that includes the correct characters. (2) Make sure you aren't using Internet Explorer. —Angr 05:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
