Re: Res: Res: [tied] Swiftness of Indra

I didnt say that Phoibe was PIE. If my hypothesis of Koios-Kuu is correct,
Finnic and Pre-Greek must have been some link that I cannot locate.
But... in another hypothesis, phoibos could be PIE and related to Slavic
zvezda "star". < *g^HwoigW-

==========
Finnish is not alone
We are dealing with a PU root
*baj and suffixed form *baj-wo
FU + Samoyedic.

Even if Phoibe should not be "PIE",
I still cannot see
how *baj-wo could connect
with *Bhoibâ
You got one phoneme right -i- = -j-
the rest does not work !!

I'm not sure Ruhlen after three pints of beer
could see a connection...

The connection of Finnish päjvä
with Greek Phoibê seems impossible.

Internal analysis of Uralic data
in particular in Permic shows the
PU proto-form was *baj-
with a variant *baj-wo
It meant "light, day" and "lightning".
It's hard to suggest something in PIE
for this *baj PU root.

It's kind of mixed up with another
root *puh- *poh "fire / to cook"
obviously cognate to PIE *puH2- "fire"

In any case, päjvä has nothing to do
with Phoibê.
