bladús doesn't have a vowel from H2 because of folk
etymology / misidentification of morpheme boundaries
This is similar to the creation of sura- (god) from
asura- when analyzed a+sura after asura- became a
negative word in Sanskrit.

*ámbladu- ámbroto- brotó- ánthro:p- >>>
bladús ámbroto- brotó- dró:p-s (Mac.)
because:
ámbroto- : brotó- :: ámbladu- : bladú-
and
ámbroto- : brotó- :: ándhro:p- : dhró:p-
dró:ps is apparently the Macedonian form of ánthro:pos
(similar to standard Greek but o>a and dH>d not tH
etc).
