How about Ngnigenh1-e:s, -os-?
Richard.
Would *ngnye/os be the genitive of *ngnis? If so, would it be better for the first half? As for the second, *genH1- means (according to the EIEC) "beget a child, be born." How do we get from that to "born?" Have you added an adjectival or noun ending? What are the rules for such things?
Thanks for your help.
