This might also explain a feature of the Greek verb "hie:mi" = "I
send". Ionic with its habit of analogical levelling has "hie:mi". But
Attic, which keeps more old irregularities, has "hi:e:mi" with a long
reduplication vowel. If root {!ey} = "go", an extended form {!eye!}
might be causative = "send"; *!yi!ye!mi becomes Greek "hi:e:mi".
