And remember, there's the issue of the "-on" ending. How can that be
explained?
Joao, your non-IE root looks far too close to the PIE root to be
anything but an ancient common term. Moreover, Greek as far as we know
never had a *sippos; though the change from PIE *kW to *p to Vepsian
"b" seems hypothetically possible, especially between two vowels. Even
so, why drag an otherwise unattested non-PIE root into the equation?

Hippos seems to me too irregular, why not *epos or eppos? It seems
like a kind of merge of the IE *ekwos and some non-IE *sikwos or
*sipos, or hippos<*h1ekwos, through some para-Greek IE adstratum.
