Perhaps, though one would like to see sufficient evidence for the bare
*k^el- or for its other extensions (Pokorny's proposals under *k^leu-
are _very_ tentative). If I can venture a guess as to the function of
*-eu-, it seems to me to convey the idea of _forward_ motion or impetus
(like Eng. ahead, forth).
