<aside> Welcome back, David. I'm very happy to see you here again. </aside>

As for <nuks, nukt->, I have no idea what prompted Pokorny to mark the
vowel as long in the oblique stem. Of course the rootr syllable is
always heavy by position, but I've never seen any other dictionary
suggest vowel length here (and on what grounds should it be posited)?
