DISPUTE
RECORD.

One scholarly question. Every attached source. The present editorial state, without pretending the last word has been written.

openproposed

Is the PIE salt root written *sal- or *séh₂l-?

Both appear in the reviewed references at different representational resolutions. SET-U reuses *séh₂l- as the canonical dossier node and records *sal- as an alternative notation, not a second word.

WORD UNDER REVIEWDISPUTE 154

salt

/sɔːlt/ · noun · verb · adjective

Common salt and the wider family of saline substances and figurative savor; an inherited Germanic word in a deep Indo-European salt family.

RESOLUTION NOTE

The dispute concerns reconstruction notation and analysis, not whether the daughter words belong to a salt family.
