>Your points here are well taken. Let me modify my initial hypothesis: first we have *-s > *-x in inflectional endings (just like English -s > -z), then *-ax > *-ux (a purely phonological development, like *-aN > *-uN), and finally the dropping of all final consonants. No need to bring *-z in.Fair enough, I take it back (from PBS, not pPIE).
