    Reconstruction

    Rix and Derksen reconstruct a laryngeal in the coda because of the Balto-Slavic acute. LIV points that the Albanian data may have originated from *swergʰ (“to ache”).

    According to some (e.g. Trubachyov[1]), the root is an extension of Proto-Indo-European *der- (to tear).

    Root

    *derHgʰ-[2]

    1. to tug, to stretch
    2. to pluck
