Well, yes, the idea of the two first brothers sharing the
inheritance such that the oldest gets the immobile property
(*leikW-), and the second gets the mobile property (*orbh-).
That would mean that the dichotomy between immobile and mobile
property is old in IE jurisprudence. That's also why I want to
understand *gWih3w- "live", which Piotr has shown is related to
*gWow- "cow, cattle", as "moving around", ie "mobile".
