Indo-European Linguistics

Proto-Indo-European Roots

PIE */d^h/

Glottalic */d^(h)/

Entries in the table below show Proto-Indo-European (PIE) roots, rendered as Pokorny etyma where the reconstructed phoneme */d^h/ (glottalic */d^(h)/) appears in initial or final position. Each root is linked to a page showing the PIE etymon and Indo-European (IE) reflexes thereof.

Note: Pokorny's etyma as spelled on this page have been rendered in ISO-8859-1, but links lead to pages rendered in Unicode 3 -- with other renderings available via links there. [Unicode pages generally render Pokorny's etyma and non-English text more faithfully than is possible in ISO-8859-1, so they are much preferred.]

		Initial Position		Final Position
		PIE *dhe- 'to put, place'		PIE *bhedh- 'to bend, flex'
		PIE *dhuer- 'door'		PIE *reudh- 'red'
