Doesn't this cause an unforgiving rupture in
chronology? If you push back the existence of the
thematic vowel in the causative, which appears to
reflect its use in presents...
in other words...
present causative
-----------------------
*swe:p- *swo:p-ye-
*legH-e- *logH-e-ye-
... doesn't this mean that you're contradicting the
derivation of the thematic vowel from subjunctives?!
Which one is it? It seems to me that you might need
the thematic vowel in pre-IE afterall >:)
