Dr Kleiner is the first victim of a new wave of hyper-feminism in animals, a herd of wolves and coyotes and rabbits and javelinas and whatnot trampling all misogynists under 5 feet and 8 inches. Your job is to retrieve the flat penny that was once Dr Kleiner, and bring it here so that I may revive him into the ultimate warrior. Do you understand?

Portuguese chão (floor) and plano (plan) are doublets: they both stem from Latin plānum. Chão was inherited from spoken Latin. It underwent the sound changes that turned Latin into Portuguese. Plano was borrowed from written Latin. Number 4 in my series: Portuguese.

How do you recognise Portuguese inherited words? On my Patreon I tell about three historical sound changes that are typical of Portuguese (900+ words).

What's your position on *a?

pretty agnostic

when it's required in the roots of content words (nominals, verbs), that's not really that problematic, even if it is unusual – late PIE did have an *[a] in any case as a consequence of laryngeal colouring, which then became phonemic (that's how *tau̯ros 'bull' was borrowed into PIE with an *a). i don't think forcing a laryngeal explanation is the best way to go about solving the presence of a "primary" *a, not least because it often opens up new problems (e. g. *sh₂el- instead of *sal- 'salt' is viable, but *nh₂es- instead of *nas- 'nose' is not, because the syllabification would be *n̥h₂es- with a syllabic nasal), though as shown it can work in some cases. even less economical is positing a whole nother laryngeal (*h₄)

it's more problematic when it seems to be required in morphology, particles, pronouns, as in the thematic ablative *-o-ad > *-ād (perhaps *-oh₁-ad from the instrumental + particle *ad, but almost certainly not *-o-h₂ed or *oh₁-h₂ed, because that would be visible in Hittite; required by Lith. -o from PBSl. *-ā and not *-ō which would've given Lith. -uo) because borrowing doesn't work as well there. late creation after laryngeal-coloured *a became phonemic is still possible imo (the issue here is whether "primary" *a and laryngeal-coloured allophonic *[a] are the same – mostly based on the fact that there's indication that *o and laryngeal-coloured *[o] were not the same. but i don't think that's that relevant because a primary, non-laryngeal *o clearly exists throughout the proto-language which canmot be said for "primary" *a)
