Subject: [tied] g^H: an older suffix in PIE adjectives?
There's a lot of PIE adjectives ending in -g^Hu. Is this a relict of a "fossil" suffix?
mrg^Hu- "short", bHng^Hu- "thick, fat", dHngHu- "fast?", dHrgHu- "strong? hard?", h2ng^Hu- "narrow", lng(W)Hu- "light" (cf. levis, elakhys, elaphros, light, if they are related).

Adjective/modifier marker?
Doesn't *merg- mean "dive, go down"? If so, then *mrg-g^Hu- "below, short"?
What are the "non-suffixed" counterparts for the others?
