PROTO: *HnēHwV̄
MEANING: bee; (honey) > sweet
COMMENT: Reconstructed for the PEC level. It is hard to establish whether the original meaning was 'bee' (preserved only in Lak.) or 'sweet' (and 'bee' in Lak. metaphorically as 'sweet-maker'). One of the rare cases of the root structure *HRVHV. In PL (Tab.) m- is the result of secondary labialisation (*neHwV- > *meHwV-).
