Are there any more non-Skt. correspondences showing ablaut? I like
your hypothesis, but an alternative explanation for the Skt.
alternation is that Skt. "a" was an ablauting vowel _in Skt._ and
the Skt. forms could have been created by analogy within Skt. itself.
The Greek form supplies evidence against this being just a Skt.
innovation, but more non-Skt. forms would greatly increase the
weight of the evidence.
