A very strange thing to say for someone in whose mother tongue the word
for 'face' is <visage>. I suppose Ger. Gesicht is also related to
<sehen> because of "some vague anatomic contiguity" which doesn't really
count ;)

ok you score one full point.
this is a relevant statement as regards <visage>.
Maybe I'm being over-analytical.
It's less good with <sehen> as *sekw may be
related to s-H1_kw !!

So far, _you_ have presented no clear argument for separating *h3ekW-
from *h1ekW- and you are trying to shift the burden off your shoulders.

You haven't been very convincing either.
Basically, you have not provided reasons
why I should not separate them in two.
And there is no reason why tradition
should be exempted of justifying its conclusions.
I suppose you agree with this.
