> IMO, *h2aus-ro- > *ausra- > *austra-, but in a Vernerian environmentIs this other 'yesterday'? What about the odd cognates in other languages that sometimes have -t- even when the word had no -sr- and they don't insert -t- anyway? It looks to me like no more than, say, * gYHd.es i '(at) yesterday', * gYHd.es ti '(to) yesterday', with adv. >> adj. * gYHd.esin.os, * gYHd.estin.os (with, as always, opt. n. > r. and i > ï > ë > 0). The dif. in meaning is difficult to render in idiomatic English, perhaps something like: "I was hit yesterday" and "I've been hurt since yesterday".
