I'll take your word for it. I trust you for references, if not for your
reconstructions.
>It's the more common one, just like *w�y is more common than *m�s.
Not exactly, it seems. Both *wei and *mes are seen with relative
frequency and one can be assured that they are not derivatives of
anything else.
With the variant with *sw-, if we can be more assured of it than
Melchert, what guarantee is there that this is not just the plural
of *swe as I said? You just tack on a plural *-es or dual *-ih and
there you have it. No need for your **tuatu, don't you agree?
