Re: PS Emphatics

The probable significance of s-mobile has been explained in a previous post.

*s- is a compounding element meaning 'well', and conveying a perfective
aspect.

There is one other compounding element of which I am aware: *ye-, which I
believe formed indefinite plurals for nouns in the earliest PIE.
