This stem (and its substantive pronoun) was originally a reflexive element referring to all persons and numbers (as in Sanskrit and in Balto-Slavic). Its wider use can still be seen in Homer, whenὅς(hós) means "my own" or "your own" (e.g.Odyssey11.142,9.28).
A user suggests that this Proto-Indo-European reconstruction entry be cleaned up, giving the reason:“manual table should be moved to a template”.
Please see the discussion onRequests for cleanup(+) or thetalk page for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
