I assumed that it was conjugated with the [*-mi, *-si, *-ti] set just
because I had never seen *-ei mentioned in any books (even though I
suspected it existed). Oh joy of joys! Teehee! That's one less thing to
explain in PreIE grammar then! So what you're saying is that the stative
endings can also terminate in the indicative *-i?! Is the singular
conjugated as *-xoi, *-toi, *-ei? Tell me 'tis true. Oh happiness, joy,
happiness upon happinesses... whoa, I'm starting to get a happiness
migraine, gotta sit down... :)
