I have to correct myself:

 

 

(2) Can you offer any evidence to support the ad hoc proposal that *-mxl- became *-bl- (via your *-p:l-)? I can suggest a counterexample: the Old Indic word for 'sour' is amblá-, not *ablá-.

 

 

Sorry, I mean Skt. amlá- 'sour, acid; (m.) wood-sorrel' (still a valid counterexample).
