I don't speak about Latin. I mean that here we have two forms in PIE.
Once *ueid and once *uid.
In one of them there must be something which changed the "u" in "v".
One can say that there is no "u" from *ueid or *uid but for Prygian you
have an "u" and
second, in Romanian you have "uita".
One another hand, an another person could argue that in Prygian the "w"
is in fact an "v" and Romanian "uita" is the latin "*oblitare (
oblitus)" which, beside the phonetically form of the words, it will
never explain the sense of " to see, to look" which we have in Romanian.
