#: | #:PT. *təlaqa ‘chisel’, composed of *təla- ‘hard’ and -qa ‘tool-suffix’, offers an interesting opportunity for resolving this item. It is not inconceivable that an early variant of Proto-Tenarian which had already dropped the weak schwa would result in *tlaqa. If this is the variant that was loaned, the forbidden onset cluster *tl would have been resolved by simple deletion of the first element as seen in the oldest strata of Proto-Indo-European loanwords (cf. PTK {{rec|lat’o-k’}} < PIE. [[wiktionary:Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/telh%E2%82%82-|*tḷh₂tós]]). |
