And you could prove it from examples, probably, not from
besa 'faith, trust', as Piotr have tried once (see previous message).
*bhidh-ti-a: > Alb besë and Alb bletë 'bee, honeybee, apis' and
Greek melitta/melissa 'id.' are sufficient counterexamples. If you
wish I could offer other examples. So, as I claim many times, it's
good to stop speculations and to start from concrete examples.

Lack of knowledge of other languages and their specifics can't be
compensated by dry theorizations and speculations.
