rather its collective *ph2wo:r in its augmentative capacity) could be
personified (and "animatised") easily. The corresponding composition form
would've been *ph2wr.-, at least in theory, but a connecting vowel is
actually inserted e.g. in Greek (cf. puro-gene:s 'originating from fire', an
attested word).
