Now if I coukld get *bhu:- "be" etc into this, that would be nice.

> *bho:i-, 'be afraid (perspire/feel hot from fear)', from *bho?-y-
More likely "X is afraid" from an impersonal *bho:i "there is (was)
an appearance to X" with an accusative, cf. the older (eg. Old
Danish) it dreamt me (that ...)"
I think the resyllabification caused by the prefix PPIE *a-
(but not by reduplication!) in its turn caused a consonant
alternation in occlusives: unvoiced unaspirated vs voiced
aspirated; this was regularised in most roots,but cf this
(B = the PPE predecessor of p/bh, whichever it was)
PPIE
*a-Baram
*a-Baras
*a-Barat
*Ba-BaramV
*Ba-BaratV
*Ba-Barant
(resyllabification)
PPIE
*aB-aram
*aB-aras
*aB-arat
*Ba-BaramV
*Ba-BaratV
*Ba-Barant
(occlusive alternation and ablaut)
*iporam
*ipors
*iport
*bhebhromV
*bhebhretV
*bhebhront
from which is abstracted either
the root *por- "transport once"
or
the roor *bher- "transport continually"
There are no verbal roots *per- or *bhor- meaning "transport"
