Re: Res: [tied] Re: Latin Honor < ?

I know, but... how if honos, honoris came from *honor, honoris, through analogy to s-stems? I know it's a bit unlikely.

You still have to deal with honest-; the vowel change indicates time depth honos vs hones

Forgetting *ner-, honos- would point to gHon-o(:)s ? If we look for another s-stems to find parallel formations, amo:r (*amo:s) ~ ama:re ~ ami:cus, we would have hono:s ~ *hona:re ~ honi:cus. IE *gHen-?

Keeping the idea of  prefix *ho-, we'd try *g^Ho-no:s, maybe < *g^Ho-hon-o: s, g^Ho-won-o:s. .. ? Or a variation of onus (honos-) "burden", with an aberrant h- for IE h-?
