A final *-s in a neuter?? Besides, this kind of compensatory lengthening
does not skip syllables: for example, where lengthening is due to an old
collective ending, as in **wéd&r-h2 > *wédo:r, it affects the second
syllable, not the first (same in the nom.sg. of animate nouns:
**kWér-t&r-s > *kWérto:r, not +kWé:rtr.).
