That raises another question I have always had:
[...]
But it seems that Pokorny and many
other scholars only reluctantly assign Gmc *bi:dan to this root, or
they do not place it under this root at all. I've never understood
this reluctance, it seems such a natural shift of meaning.

Acknowledging that *bheidh and *bheudh are basically only one and the same
root *bh_dh (with different vocalic schemes) would bust the standard
theories of PIE apophony and PIE root structure.
It's no surprise this will be stamped down whatever the evidence is.
Halleluyah to the dogmas !

PS
A dogma is always more comfortable than data.
Never forget that, M. Jarrette.
It's Popper's principle number 1.
A dogma is what makes data to be considered data,
Disturbing data are not data.
They are chance coincidence.
Bheudh and bheidh being the same is not data,
It's just chance coincidence.
