Re: [tied] Re: The origin of *ek^wos and *o:k^u-... A mystery solved

The "majority view" is that *asUtre~bU/*asUstre~bU (as reconstructed by Vey) is a derivative of *o:k^u-ptr-o- and thus somehow related to <accipiter>. My knowledge of Slavic accentology is also insufficient to predict with any accuracy the behaviour of stress and accent in a quadrisyllabic compound noun with an uncertain derivational history (was the initial laryngeal-toned? where was the original location of stress? what was the effect of the complex suffixation?).
