• Why there is no parallel ḫi- remains a mystery. It is idle to argue for some kind of parasitic origin, comparable to the rampage of spiritus asper over initial upsila in Attic Greek; the very contrast ḫu- : w- is distinctive.
• Gk. ῦει ‘to rain’ may represent either *sE₂uH₂-ye- or *E₂uH₂-ye- (spiritus asper being automatic on initial upsila), thus a -ye/o- derivative (stative like e. g. χαίρω?) from the zero grade of the root stem seen in Toch. A 3 pl. swiñc < *sE₂uH₂-énti.
• Serifs are a regular feature of letters in both the Getty and the PFayum 4 papyrus fragments. Upsila, similarly formed in all, are decorated with serifs on the base of the vertical stroke at PFayum 4.11, Getty recto line 1, and Getty verso line 7.
• Inconsistent letter forms: e.g. upsila in 1.2; kappas in 1.7; long rho in πρωτον vs. short rho in ημετερα; epsila in επελθω.
