 ===Ablaut===
 Much like in PIE, PQ had an ablaut system where roots (usually of 2 or 3 consonants) were inflected in different ablaut grades.
-Roots:
-*''ł-x̌ʷ'' = 'be'
-*''x̌-nʼ'' = 'live'
-*''k-p'' = 'eat'
-**''Haft'' < kapdxʷ could mean 'bread'
-*''ƛ-y'' = 'grab, capture'
-**Wb. ''Seime'' = hand < ''ŝīmō'' < ''ƛəy-m-aʔ''
-**Wb. ''Sette'' = property < ''ŝedō'' < ''ƛyədxʷ'' (**ƛy-dxʷ)
-*''n-kʷ'' = 'up'
-*''q-x̌'' = 'accompany'
