A nice link for the Copenhagen translation of
Paternoster in PIE:

   Thanks. I have a few questions on the symbols used, though. Why are both a schwa and the H used for laryngeals? What does a j (the i with the half-circle under it) following a vowel represent; I thought it was used for a consonantal i, but can't imagine what such a consonant would mean in this location. What is the t with the superscript h? What's the edh doing in the last word of the fourth line? In the last line, is H2ojuH1sont one word or two? Finally, would H1esti at the very end be the translation of "amen?"
   I know I should probably send this in an e-mail to the website, but I was hoping to avoid dealing with Danish or imposing English.
   Thanks for any help.
