And I assumed that you understood sound laws. Sanskrit does not
reflect your original genitive **pk^w-os. So yet again, I ask
what your point is?? We're talking about PARADIGMS, not

compounds??? Do you understand what a declensional paradigm is?
How does what you're saying relate to a declensional paradigm??
