I have, with less persuasion however, suggested the same for the -s-
of the sigmatic aorist which also lengthens. And I have suggested
there is this kind of sibilant behind the /s/ of the neuter root
noun *me:ms- 'meat' also because the Sanskrit form má:s has the same
shape as the m-stem nominatives, Skt. ks.á:s 'earth', Avest.
ziiå 'winter'. I have also assumed it for *ters- 'dry' because of
the long *-e:- of Celtic *ti:ros 'land' which I took to be a
restructuring of *te:rs as an s-stem *te:r-os.

You probably anticipate that I am going to suggest a *-sa: formant indicating state.

 

The transference of the length outside the stress-accent would be quite understandable.

 

You might also want to look at http://www.geocities.com/proto-language/NewIE-VerbalInflection.htm

regarding your ideas of relating the subjunctive to the present.
