Notes : The proper form in Kui should be *pēbga; however, we may suggest a specific development after long vowels (probably the epenthetic -b- was by some reason not required; if so, *pēRa > *pēa > *peha). This development is supported by Kui viha < *vīRa).

Notes : The word pihereju can belong here only if it would be justified to trace it back to *pēr-eju. Although -h- does sometimes stand for vowel length before consonants, this is the only example of it in the intervocalic position, so it would be risky to make any certain conclusions.
