What are you asking? Just because I don't think the d in salt is
the same as in that (*tod) doesn't mean I think anything different
than what I first said: d in the noun came from d in the adj.
(sxaLdo+) which is formed with stative *do+ as in Latin adj. in -idus
(as I've discussed before with some people here).

Patrick:

I certainly do not think that *-do is a stative.
