Indo-European Linguistics, 2019 Abstract There are around sixty Indo-European roots that are (sometimes) reconstructed with a vowel *a in the scholarly literature that otherwise fully embraces the laryngeal theory. This number is extremely low compared to the number of morphemes in which the vowels that are traditionally reconstructed as *e and *o are found.

Might Hurro-Urartian and North-Caucasian Languages Be Derived from (or Related to) Indo-European? [PDF]

Preliminary evidence suggests North-Caucasian (NC) languages might also be related to PIE –

A new prosodic reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European *-mon-stems
Indo-European Linguistics, 2022 It is widely thought that (i) Proto-Indo-European had *-mon-stem nominals formed by internal derivation from neuter *-men-stems and that (ii) these *-mon-stems were characterized by “amphikinetic” inflection, thus stressed full-grade of the root in ...

The phonetic value of the Proto-Indo-European laryngeals
Indo-European Linguistics, 2021 Discussion of the exact phonetic value of the so-called ‘laryngeals’ in Proto-Indo-European has been ongoing ever since their discovery, and no uniform consensus has yet been reached. This paper aims at introducing a new method to determine the quality
