Re: [tied] Brugmann's Law

Of course, as usual, a laryngeal solves everything. I know this is a
possible solution but I hoped there was some evidence of which I wasn't
aware of pointing at that direction. Skr. also has rásas, there is Latin
ro:s but this is of no use, likewise the verbal stems like Skr. arsati and
Hittite arszi prove nothing. So this is again a no-win situation.
