Can anybody offer an explanation why

there are two separate IE roots (Pokorny)

*seq- meaning "follow, go in order" lat. sequor, gr.

(/epomai, eng. sequence, etc.

and

*seq- menaning "tell in order" (lat. inseco < insequo
- b.t.w. why did the labiovelar simplify into the
gutural here?- gr. )enne/pw < *en-sequo)

Cheers,
D.
