Is Umbrian >rehte evidence to you?

Umbrian shows both REHTE and TETTOM < *tehto- *< tekto-. We would expect
the spelling TEITTOM if the vowel were long. See Meiser "Historische Laut-
und Formenlehre der lateinischen Sprache" section 149.5.

I note your comments on fesnaf-e "commonly derived from *dheH1s-naH2-".
Which alphabet was this written in?
