Re: Indo-Uralic?

Why is it by the way that you reconstruct PU **nohu 'woman'?

Mainstream reconstruction is PU *näXi- > Pre-Finnic *naXi-

===============

h regularly become yod

Hungarian is nö
*nohu > *noju > *nöjü > *nö

Finnish *naj
*nohu > *naju > *naj-

PU ä is a fiction.
PU is not proto-Finnish improved.
Just try to get nö out of this **näXi thing.
