Re: honestiores and honjesta

Kalasha honjesta seems to continue Proto-Indo-Aryan
*ǰhandha-ǰyaiṣṭhaka-, cf. Urtsun ɔ̄n 'house', Rumbūr han (stem hānd-)
'house, temple of Jeṣṭak' < *handha- (phonetically also ghon, stem
ghōnd- = Vedic gandhá- 'smell'), ǰeṣṭä̅ṅgur 'thumb' : Vedic jyéṣṭha-
'first'. Latin honestior must come from either Proto-Indo-European
*ghon-es-t-(i)yōs- or *g'hon-es-t-(i)yōs-, while *ǰhandha-ǰyaiṣṭhaka-
implies PIE *g'hondho-g(w)yeH-ist(h)o-ko-, so we would have at best a
PIE root *g'hon- in common (provided *handha- reflects a bi-radical
compound *g'hon-dhh1-o-)
