Proto-Indo-European

Root

*h₂eh₃-

to be hot
to burn

Reconstruction notes

This may actually be the same root as *h₂eh₁- (see *h₂ed-, *h₂eHs-), considering there is uncertainty concerning the vocalic outcomes of a conflict in coloring rules from two different laryngeals.[1] Moreover, the reconstruction of *h₂eh₃mós is highly controversial, as is its affiliation with words meaning “hot, heat, burn”, and several of its listed descendants are not universally agreed to reflect the same root.

Derived terms

*h₂eh₃-mó-s (see there for further descendants)
*h₂éh₃-mr̥ (see there for further descendants)
