I don't want to go into this discussion. It has already been done by others
(like Lubotsky). It is interesting that Slavic for instance has only the
root *kaylo- from all of these if I am not mistaken just of the top of my
head... Leiden is down for the moment but I think it would be very
significant to see which lgs show the reflexes of these words. Let me
guess - Italic, Germanic and Celtic mostly...
