I'd say that while It. and Ger. 0-derive a noun from an adj. Slavic
creates a noun in *-o:n. so:

*xalbh-xY-dó+n.+s .. *xalbh-xY-dó+n.+[]
*xalbh-xY-dó+n.+s .. *xalbh-xY-d+n.+[]
*xalbh-xY-dó:+n.+ .. *xalbh-xY-d+n.+[]
*xalbh-xY-dó:n. .... *xalbh-xY-dn.+[]

*xalbh-xY-dn.+
*xalbh-xY-d.n.+
*xalbh-xYn.-d.+
*xalbh-_Yn.-d.+
*xalbh-_n.-d.Y+
*xalbh-_n.-d.y+
*xalbh-an.-d.y+

or something sim. to the metathesis in *gYel-xY-dwo:n. caused by a
long chain of C in an odd order restructuring to a simpler form.
