    Reconstruction notes

    The linguist Roland A. Pooth argues that this noun likely does not belong to Proto-Indo-European proper, which—according to the notation utilized by Pooth—refers to the language otherwise identified as Proto-Indo-Hittite. According to Pooth, the descendants assigned to this term actually derive from a Proto-Indo-European root noun *wóǵʰ-, which then may have evolved into a post-PIE noun *wóǵʰos. This interpretation is, however, reliant on the particular theory of Pooth that the o- and ā- declensions in daughter languages were post-PIE developments.[5][6]
