I have no idea what you're objecting to about my reconstruction, which has
some parts
in common with yours.

============
I don't understand your "rules"
which are more abstruse than obvious.

PY derivation from PIE is obvious
such choose the right sound
and rewrite the root
and that's done.

I made rules deriving Bur. from PIE and compared it to its obvious relative
Yen. I think
comparing them to get the best idea of the rules (many in common) is the
best way to go
about a reconstruction.

If the word
ghurash "s*t" is inherited
from s-ker-t > Burushashki
then Bur. is not satem

PY is satem.

Something's wrong.
with your "rules"
