Quote from Alex initial mail:
"one must observe in Avestan there is no initialy "sf-", "sv-", "sb-",
but just "sp-". At least this is what I could constate in teh online
dictionary of Avestan I could find. Are my data wrong?"
After Miguel expossed his view I added as follow:
"If these roots are not given corectly, I agree, I should
have had to verify them in a second source before posting it, thing
which I didn't and you can accuse me for it."
I tried to verify them as good I could, and this was not good enough.
The problem with Poorny online is that the display is very strange. At
least there must be done something for display the roots correctly. For
instance I get such a view:
c. k^uei-t- (k^u?ei-to-, k^u?ei-ti?o-, k^u?i-t(?)no-, k^u?i-t(?)ro-
`hell, weiß'):
