Pavel on "hallowed be thy name" (or "may it be hallowed your name"):

How so? You mean "May you be hallowed your name"??
>>The stem is actually *dHgHom-.

>*dHg^Hom-
Using traditional notation, yes. I write *g^H as *gH and the so-called
non-palatal *gH as a uvular *GH. There are no palatals in IE.
>>Looks like they made a compound out of

Ah you're right.
This would be my version which everyone is welcome to pick apart:

?no:mn toi yagyeto:d

"Thy will be done" is now translated using *dHeh- making it literally
"Will thy may-it-be-done". Now "Give us this day our daily bread" is
translated as "day-at this to-us our bread daily give." The part
with "Lead us not into temptation" now uses *xag- "to lead, herd",
conjugated in the 2ps aorist. I'm not sure where *loigos comes from,
meaning "evil" supposedly. I agree that *teuhos doesn't seem like the
best translation for "power" which can be directly conveyed with *megHos.
Lastly, */xoiwos xoyu/ is supposed to mean "age-[gen] age" ("for ages of
ages), translating "forever and ever".
