Proto-Indo-European

  • Reconstruction

    This root could presumably have an *a, but the short vowel of Proto-Indo-Iranian *bʰaga- can easily be explained by Lubotsky's Law, from the loss of the laryngeal in front of a voiced stop plus another consonant; this condition would have existed, for instance, in athematic verb forms, such as *bʰegs-.[1][2]
