Avez-vous vu le mot 'root' dans le e-mail?

===========
I consider you haven't written this sentence
qui ne veut rien dire.
I suggest you keep using English
as the common vernacular on this spot.

PIE *urughyo- is _not_ a PIE root!
PR
============
Pokorny : p. 1183
It is a PIE Root *wrugh
Variant form wrigh- (Thrakian)

Arnaud
===============

with *urughyo- you a preformative *u-, the root, *reu- + an extension, *gh-,
and a grammatical suffix, *yo-.
PR
===========
Chinese has mai4 : cereal in general
from mrïk
ï can just be a delabialized u
hence *mruk is structurally the same thing as *wrugh
I would not cut the word in little bits
if I were you.
Looks like a cognate *m?rugh
Arnaud
===================

Extended roots with prefixes and suffixes have different vowel rules.
Patrick
===========
Now you have prefixes !? and preformatives ? for PIE

I remember you recently asserted
PIE_has_NO_prefixes
or something like that.
