It can't be *h1
or *h3, which are lost in Hittite in this position (*h1 is
lost in *any* position).
=========
No,
This is just *your* theory
not a fact.
Hittite mehur "time"
Cf. Arabic maHwa "hour, time"
Hittite sehur "urine"
Cf. Arabic saHH "to flow"
and saxab
as of "blood, rain, tears, milk, etc"
H1.2 here /velar unvoiced spirant/

>What is Pokorny number for *seh2-wr ?
*su:-ro-, *sou-ro-, p. 1039.

=======================
Obviously inadequate.
Baltic su:r "salty" is highly interesting
as it is one more case of l > r
as in hartia < *kol
Cf. sal < zahl-
su:r < *zuhl- ?
What is Pokorny for Hekur ?
