I'm not sure I'm convinced, but if so might it
merely be a case of "double-locative" from -i-en? A
few common phrases could be lexicalized and perhaps
these would be generalized from to form some other
words. The example might even be a triple-locative
from *g^Heim-en-i-en (at each stage of addition the
whole phrase is lexicalized, repetition).
