Cf. IE: *pad-/*plad- "flat (area)"?

If affixes are imported from that far afield (no pun intended),
internal reconstruction in PIE might be risky business.

Note also the glosses fitting into KVR- "circle, encompass" (where K
is a velar or labiovelar and L is l or r), also occurring in the
words for "wheel": gilgal, *kWekWel. It seems to indicate
the 'Neolithic agricultural cultural assemblage" included some idea
of the circle.
