Alright. That's a comment worth responding to. The
problem is that these stems in *-om are in fact the
only possible evidence you are looking for!

Ironically, you yourself are ignoring the fact that
the accentuation is on the final syllable in *yugom.

Now, it's highly odd that only thematic stems would
acquire this oxytone accentuation. There's obviously
more to all of this then, but you're failing to
explain it and scolding me for addressing it.

This, coming from a man that proposes an entire
labialized carnival of extra sounds that IE doesn't
need, like **mW. Or, remember the time you claimed
that *?esh2r- 'blood' was **?esh2rgW-?

So perhaps you should be as harsh with your own
views as you are with others'.
