Do you think that hiarós/iarós comes from metathesis
is_H1ros > is_rH1os? If so is there any reason you
use &1 not H1?

Why not *mik^s-ró-s with ks>c^>s^ before a C in the
same syllable as earth (gen.) jmas (with gmas coming
from optional z>0 between non- and sonorant C's as
obligatory s>0 between 2 non-sonorant C's)?

How do you account for the retroflex n. if you don't
reconstruct a retroflex series in PIE (it's not just
after u/i (vi-sad- and vi-san.n.a- "sad"))?
