Unclear to whom - you? PR
==========
To Loprieno in the first place
who clearly sees that this "letter" <3>
has more than one "value" in the rest of PAA.
ARnaud
================
Egyptian <3> _never_ appears as /s/ in any related language.
==============
Why don't you look for one example ?
I give you the "recipe" :
- initials in Egyptian must be either : d or q, glottalized.
- 3 is *s turned into *s?, because of glottalic propagation.
A root like t?_s or t?_sh or q_s or q_sh.

=================
<3w) is Pokorny's *rew6-.
==========
you mean the root "empty space" !?
3_w means "length".
Arnaud
===========
Hausa t?sawô, if it actually exists,
======
Why don't you check by yourself ?
These last days, I noticed you are improving
your methods :
- changing the order of phonemes, as in n_b_w,
- making laws that don't work, as in ma(?)wa.t
- asserting that good references are worthless,
like Kazimirski,
Arnaud
================
There is nothing "archaic" about i_a.
=========
It's definitely archaic and older than the scheme *o_â.
I give you another HAusa word to check,
Yesterday : jiyâ
Root : gh_y
Scheme : i_â
Words with the scheme i_â are *rare*.
because the scheme *o_â replaced it.
Arnaud
===============
It is the simple result of *wei- being combined with -*aH.
Patrick
=============
I am suggesting that LAtin via
could be reanalyzed as *w_H2- with scheme i_â,
instead of being *w_y- with scheme e_â
Actually this scheme **e_â is impossible in the first place.
