Still, assumption is assumption. It's illogical.
>Nonsense: the vowel is observed allright in the source language.
Nonsense on your part. While the second syllable is present in
Semitic, it's just NOT found in IE. Further, you're not explaining why
the vowel MUST be there in the first place. You're merely
re-emphasizing empty assertions. Validate your assumption with
reasonable arguements within IE or pre-IE.
