3. s'rad-dadha:ti is still a verbal construction in Sanskrit => so

There is nothing 'periphrastic' about s'rad-dadha:ti. It is a simple case of
a Noun + reduplicated Verb combining into a phrase.

In relation with the Germanic weak preterite: Is a very good
example of a periphrastic verbal formation using re-duplication.
But even supposing it as already a verb, being a <Noun>+dHeh1-
construction is not relevant for our topic where we need <Verb>+dHeh1-
constructions (if any)
