I wrote (without thinking):
<<...and the only form I can think of offhand that is cited in a similar
manner is *yewes- "law", where I thought the root changed to *yewer- in the
oblique cases (based on the Latin oblique stem iur-, but I think I may be
wrong)>>
Now that I think about it, the stem change in Latin (iur-) is due to
rhotacism. So, in PIE, would the stem remain *yewes- in the oblique cases?
