>IEW 343 *e(:)sr(gW), EIEC 71 under *h1esh2r "Cf. the derivative in

Until you can supply me with an abundant list of words ending
in vocalic /-r/ in Sanskrit, your reconstructions are irrelevant.
Latin /sanguen/ and /asrk/ do not correlate due to
differences not only in form but also the lack of /-r-/ in Latin.
Without /-r/, the word cannot be interpreted within the bounds
of IE grammar. In ignorance, why, who cares about making sense?
We could just as well derive /sanguen/ from *senghW-, *se-n-gh-,
or *s-neighW-!
Now, what logical objections forbid the connection with /sanus/
"healthy"?
