And Slavic *dUno < *dHub(H?)nom. Note that there is no secure evidence
for Winterian lengthening in this word-family in Balto-Slavic, which
would favour *dHeubH- over *dHeub-. Modern revisions of Kluge's Law
suggest nasal assimilation with degemination after a heavy nucleus, so
the 'deep' group could reflect something like *dHeuP-nó-, where P = any
labial, and in particular *dHeubH-nó- (a vr.ddhied adjectival derivative
of *dHubH-nó-). Parallel examples include *xWi:taz < (possibly) *k^weitnó-.
