EIEC's *kaunos (Gk.(Hes.) kaunós 'bad, evil', Goth. hauns 'humble',
Latv. kàuns 'shame, disgrace', if belongs here, Lith. placename
Kau~nas).
Sl. lê^vU (c), Gk. laiós -- no Hirt, therefore, according to your
formulation if Hirt's Law, no *a:i.
Possibly EIEC's *mai- (Goth. G. pl. maile 'wrinkle', OE ma:l 'spot',
Lith. pl. mie~le:s, Latv. mìeles 'yiest'), if Gk. miaíno: 'stain,
sully' belongs here).
Probably Lat. paucus 'little', Gk. paûros 'little', if Lith.
pau~ks^tis 'bird' belongs here (for the semantic development cf. the
etymology of Sl. pUti"ca).
Lat. scaevus, Gk. skaiós, Lith. kai~ras (4) 'left'.
Lat. taurus, Gk. taûros 'bull', Lith. tau~ras 'aurochs', Sl. tûrU (c).
