In phonetical terms, it would be completely irregular, if derived
*directly* from *bHoidHéh- (one would expect +<baidé:ti>). Of course
one cannot exclude recycling of the original form into a productive
type of causatives in -(d)ýti.

Of course, if the form allows only for a causative, how does that affect the
status of *bhoi- ?
Could that element be nominal in conjunction with *-dhe:(H)- to produce the
verb for the causative?
