Long i: versus zero

ki:ku-s strength

shvayati to be strong

*ku- > shv as in kuHon "dog"

 

There is no reason to reject *i and *u as vowels.

You yourself have provided the reason for rejecting *i and *u as vowels:

 

your failure to furnish 5 VERBAL roots of the form *CiC, or

 

5 VERBAL roots of the form *CuC.

 

 

If *i and *u are *V, then providing VERBAL roots of the form *CVC with *i and *u should be no problem.
