But if this is supposed to be the present paradigm of the verb
meaning 'carry' in PIE right before it disintegrated into branches,
one wonders what became of this paradigm which seems nowhere
continued, and where the paradigm *bhérom *bhéres, *bhéret etc.,
which all the branches unanimously point to, came from. By normal
standards this means that the reonstruction is wrong.
