Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level.The root is also attested in HU: Urart. lutu 'women' (see Diakonoff-Starostin 1986, 27). The meaning of the Urartian form sheds light on the nature of the element *-dV in EC (present in Av., Darg. and Ur.): this is most probably an original plural formant.
See Trubetzkoy 1922, 239. Despite Abdokov (1983, 89), the EC root can not be related to WC *sʷǝ(mǝ)c̣V 'woman' q.v.
