 <snip>

What is the problem?  The base form of the PIE word is *h2ner, zero
grade *h2nr.  In Sanskrit this whould give vr.ddhi _na:_, gu.na _nar_,
zero grade nr..

Richard, is the vr.ddhi form above: _na:_ just a typo, or is there some mechanism whereby the final <r> is elided? If so, could you tell me a little more about it?
 
Thank you.
