Re: [tied] The Other Tale

A few loose ideas:

"prosecute" -- *h2eg^-e- [xag^e-] (??)

"always" -- *h2eju [xaju] (or any locative derived from *h2oju/*hjou-)

"want" -- *wel-e-

"obtain, get, take" -- nem-e-

I also wonder if a passive aorist of *gWHen- "kill" (*(e-)gWhn-to) would not describe the fate of the Wolf's dad better than a form of *mer-.

>Not a bad job. A few obvious corrections so far: Hey, y'know, boys and girls, this is a great way to better get familiar with PIE grammar and the problems therein. Hmmm, I think I will shameless try my hand at that other fable to see if we can't fill in some blanks. Like, couldn't we use something like *sel- "jump" for "play" or *nokW- "darken" for "to pollute"? warenm selet sreumni wlkWos warenei wekWet, "wodr nokWta pixWom kWem. tWe [prosecute]o:mi to:i." ware:n wekWet, "esm @su supo tebhei." wlkWos wekWet, "tot nokWta. pxte:r mos merst tebhei ma." nu ware:n wekWet: "kWo: proi genmn mos kWe bheut kWesyo potis eso:m?" wlkWos wekWet: Ne tu: esiet, oinom tuos est.
