PROTO: *laq_ū ( ~ -ĕ-)
MEANING: ashes; dust
COMMENT: Correspondences are regular, and the EC-WC comparison seems quite satisfactory. It is, however, not quite clear whether PWC keeps a trace of the initial resonant (*l-) or has lost it, having later added a dental (class) prefix. See Dumézil 1933, 15, Abdokov 1983, 100.
