Comments: PTsKh *=ɨƛʷV-ju; PGB *=ɨƛVru. In PTsKh *-ru (analysed as a frequent adjectival suffix) was superseded by a functionally analogous morpheme, *-ju - but external data are in favour of considering *-ru here as belonging to the root. Bokarev lists in Gunzib r-iƛeru 'cruel' which is obviously the same word as the MSU recording =ɨƛeru 'hard'.
