If it were so clearly different, I wonder why people like Meillet, W.
Lehmann, Beekes, Bomhard work with only two series.
I suppose awkward is syllabicated awk # ward.
We have no reason to suppose English syllabication applies to PIE, or do we
?
Until I've been comprehensively refuted, I consider that
k+w = kw but k^w is KHw with KH being an intensive velar resulting from any
velar + H1.
