*pletenI (an old nasal-stem deverbative), *sU-pletU 'braid'. One
would expect *plest-/*plost- in Slavic, so *plet-/*plot- must reflect
a non-Satemised form *plekt-/*plokt-, one of several such cases in
Slavic.

What would cause the -k- to disappear from *pl-kt-?
(BTW Da. fletning "braid", fletværk "wickerwork")
