And which PIE _word_ is the latter supposed to be related to? ;). And
whose reconstruction is it anyway? Starostin's etymological database has
PNC *?_wIl?_i ("one of the most widely spread NC roots") for 'eye',
*?_werV for 'look, sight', *Ha^rq.wa 'face, eyebrow' (one of several
'face' words). What have they got to do with PIE?
