Reflexes: Citations needed[edit]

I cross-checked the reflexes against Fortson 2004, referenced all that I found there and marked the others with {{Fact}}. Please add references and move them into the upper part of each table cell if you can. Note that your sources need to confirm that the words in question are actually reflexes of the PIE forms (i.e. derived from these via sound laws), it does not suffice if they merely have the same meaning. A number of reflexes could be deleted in my opinion (one example per branch would probably do), but I left them for the time being.

Preferred order to sort referenced reflexes into the list (to maintain some sort of system):

Anatolian – Indic – Iranian – Greek – Italic – Germanic – Celtic – Armenian – Tocharian – Baltic – Slavic – Albanian

Command negator[edit]

I changed the supposed original command negating particle to mā, given that this is its reflex in Doric Greek, which preserves original ā (whereas Attic-Ionic shifts it to η except after ε, ι, ρ where it is retained).
