THE COMPLETE RELATIONSHIP

EVERY FIELD, NOT A FAIRY TALE

SOUND CHANGE

The suffixed zero grade suppresses the root e and combines the reduced root with *-yo-; the full oldest root is reconstructed as *ǵenh₁-.

SEMANTIC CHANGE

Give birth and beget supply derivatives for generation, lineage, family, and tribal groups.

CHRONOLOGY

Two analytical reconstructed levels, not independently attested spoken tokens.
