I've already stated my logical rejection of all derivatives
as valid counterexamples and there is nothing like **pkw-os as
a genitive, nor is there **pd-os. One numeral counterexample is
little to go on since "one" is too much like a third person
pronoun and pronominal declensions naturally retain
irregularities.
Second, last time I checked, it's bad methodology to use a
single language (whether it be Armenian or not) as the sole
basis for a reconstruction when other available daughter
languages even counter it.
And I don't know where you're going with this dogs thing. You're
taking this discussion to the dogs. **pkwo:n doesn't exist. What
don't you get??
