At this point I feel the need for a proper presentation of the presumed
/sW/ on the descriptive level of PIE. What protoforms cannot do with /s/
or /w/ but must have /sW/? And what does /sW/ yield in the different
branches? Is it really true that the assumption of a PIE phoneme /sW/
yields more regularity than it costs?
