- *(s)ḱerdʰ-
Reconstruction notes
On the basis of the Indo-Iranian forms, the term is sometimes reconstructed as *(s)ḱerdʰ- with a palatovelar. Lubotsky, however, suggests that Proto-Indo-European *skerdʰ- may have developed into *sčardh-, which then palatalized into Proto-Indo-Iranian *sćardʰ-. Afterwards, *sćardʰ- may have become *ćʰardʰ- via the assimilation of the initial cluster, which then perhaps would have become *ćardʰ- due to Grassman's Law. Finally, *ćardʰ- may have then become Sanskrit *śardh-.[1]
