[tied] Re: IE prefix "*s"

Hello Miguel,
I try to find other Romanian word derived from Latin in Romanian
that have been transform like :
sca -> *scâ -> *scâi -> schi (or similar)

I couldn't find another one (from a list of about 850 words (I am
working to obtain the full list of Latins words in Romanian))

The Romanian '-chi-' is obtained only from '-clV-' or '-culV-'.

It could be an issue with its derivation from 'ex-cambiare' ?

Best Regards,
marius
