Nostr.? *w-t- , *w-g-

Manaster Ramer: Exploring the Notratic Hypothesis
in
Salmon & Joseph (eds.): Nostratic: Siftin the Evidence

has as among a handful of loans into(?) IE and Finno-Ugric:

*wetV- "water"
*wegV- "to carry"
*wetV- "to lead"

which is odd, since I have those same roots in my site (as usual).
How did mr. Ramer know that? They seem to have been borrowed as a
package (but I do miss IE *w-g- "water"). Also, there's that pesky -g-
/-d- (-t- ?) alternation again.
