Re: [tied] The phonetic value of PIE *h3 and the 'drink' root.

Miguel:

>A Bizkaian causative XXX-e-ra-gin (XXX-to be-make) or
>XXX-e-ra-zo (XXX-to be-make(?)) is then not entirely unlike my analysis of
>the PIE causative as *R-XXX-?e-
>(be(?)-XXX-make-).

And where is this **R-? Last time I checked, IndoEuropean
tended towards suffixation, not prefixation. Plus,
the **R- is all the more unlikely considering that PIE
looks to have been originally SOV. Why can't an o-grade
just be an o-grade??
