Notes and references: ЭСКЯ 176, EWK 167 (*tkwen-). Не исключено, что сванский указывает на необходимость реконструкции *(ś)tke(n)- "вы" : *(ś)tkwen- 'ваш', а -w- в прямой основе в прочих языках вторично и получено по аналогии. Характер начального *ś- неясен. Основа *tk(w)en- < *tVH-Vn- < ностр. *ṭi(H)- "ты, вы". Иллич-Свитыч (ОСНЯ 1, 7) восстанавливает *ṭä 'вы' на основании монг. ta, урал. *tä и и.-е. -te (аффикс мн. числа). В и.-е. скорее имеем *-tHe (ср. др.-инд. -tha), что хорошо соотносится с картвельской формой. См. Долгопольский....
