now I guess I got your idea. there has been a root *der which already in
PIE became *sder became *ster became *ter. Parallel, the old root *der
was kept. Somewhere at a point we got in PIE *der and *ter from which
the IE languages derived their own words. If so, for IE languages we
have still to speak about two diferent roots, regardless if the second
one is via s-mobile a reflex of the first one, isn't it?
