I don't know how useful it may be, but it seems to me there's a
surprisingly high number of well-known PIE roots with a final
unaspirated voiced stop (usually *g^, more rarely *d) preceded by a
laryngeal. For example:
*bHerh2g^- as in 'birch'
*swah2d- as in 'sweet'
*bHah2g^- as in 'beech'
*sah2g^- as in 'seek'
*wrah2d- as in 'root'
... and now this *wreh1g^- thing.
Any _further_ thoughts?
