Beekes R.S.P. Right, left and naked in Proto-Indo-European

Orbis. — 1994. — Vol. 37. — P. 87-96.Some forms of the PIE word for 'right' containing an unexpected *-i- in the suffix (*dek̑si-wo-, *dek̑si-tero-, *dek̑si-no-) are explained as based on adv. *dek̑si 'at the right side'. For 'naked' Beekes rejects taboo deformations and assumes instead that *nog^w-no- > *noŋ^w-no- underwent an assimilation to *ŋoŋ^w-no- > γυμνός.
