needed (also to allow * gYhel-xW-wó+ > * xYeLuwo+ > helvus instead of

gYhel-xW-wo+ . pYaL-x-wo+ . sol-wo+
gYhel-u-wo+ .. pYaL-x-wo+ . sol-wo+
gYhel-u-wo+ .. pYaL-wo+ ... sol-wo+
gYheL-u-wo+ .. pYaL-wo+ ... soL-wo+
gYheL-u-wo+ .. pYaL-Lo+ ... soL-Lo+
gYheL-u-wo+ .. pYal-lo+ ... sol-lo+
gYheL-wo+ .... pYal-lo+ ... sol-lo+

etc.
