You're wrong: I did read the entries.

Perhaps I should have made my point more directly: when you
cite PIE roots, please identify them clearly, e.g.,

PIE *kad- 'kill' (Pokorny's *ka(:)d- 'to injure, harm').

in the PIE database of Starling.rinet.ru

The IA words aren't the whole of the entry; their senses are
at one extreme of the range covered.

Goes with *k^ad- 'to fall'.
