Patrick:

*weido-s is Old Indian ve:da-H; you left out the visarga.

Why did you do that?

Watkins, you, and God cannot certainly reconstruct *woido-s for ve:da-H.

As I tried (evidently, unsuccessfully) to instruct you, PIE *ei and *oi both
result in Old Indian e:.

You prefer Watkins though you cannot successfully reproduce his spelling of
the word without mistakes.

I prefer Pokorny who has *weido-s.
