If *tómos/*tomós pairs are made from verbal stems only, then their
existence are not relevant to Schaffner's list, which consists almost
exclusively of non-verbal stems. In that message you call woghos and
tomos deverbative nouns. I understand that as if you are saying *tomos
is derived from a verbal stem. If you meant something else, then what?
And if on the other hand you agree that *tómos/*tomós are derived from
a verbal stem, do you have an example of a similar pair derived from a
non-verbal stem?
