It's also irrelevant here since there are only two camps
regarding /hutH/. Either the word means _"six"_ or "four",
because of the interpretation of the dice.
So this armchair comparison with NEC is empty.

Let's not. Until you find a reasonable set of sound correspondances,
it's not entertainable. You can't just make *q. become /tH/ and
forget about the *m. There are far better theories to busy our mind
with. Whether true or false in the end, everyone can see that a
comparison between /hutH/ and IE *kWetwor- is far more credible than
the above drivvel.
