385. (s)meugh = smoke, smog (JS-369).

386. (s)ne = spin, sew, thread, bowstring, cord, sinew, nerve (JS-370).

Note here that there is hardly any difference between Greek neuron = nerve, Latin nervus = a sinew, and the DR. nara and naru which denote: nerve, etc., as we just witnessed. Other seed-words are ne = to weave, entwine (3745-Ka); ne = weaving, a web (Ka); ne.y = to spin (thread) (Kod).

It is not surprising that the words snare, ensnare are also derived from this root. In DR. sindu = a snare (2517-Kui).

388. (s)neubh = marry (JS-372).

That this IE root has given rise to Greek numphe = bride, and Latin nubere = marry, with many other derived words in other IE languages which also denote maenings connected with marriage is in accordance with the fact that the DR. seed-word of this root is nibbana = a marriage festival with all its display especially with its processions and gifts, the display of the gifts, and the gifts themselves (3230-Ka). While this definition given in 3230 is correct, it must also be noted that in colloquial Kannada this word nibbana, depending on the context, is also used to connote marrying and marriage.

389. spek, skep = to scout, look keenly (Pei-202-03); spek = see, regard (JS- 373-74).

It is interesting to note that Pei states these roots as spek and skep on the ground what he calls metathesis which he defines as interchange in the position of k and p. JS points out Greek skheptomai, and he also adduces this formation to metathesis.The fact, however, is that in DR. the seed-word of this root is the Kannada suke = perception, cognition (2735-Ka), and a Kannada variant of this DR. word in the same group 2735 (with correspondence between s and ch in DR.) is chupu = seeing, sight, look, vision (2735-Ka). That the roots spek and skep are according to the formation of these two DR. words chupu and suke respectively is clear here. Note that the word chupu also occurs in DR. Telugu where it denotes: sight, look, glance, vision (2735-Te).

Note that this root also denotes: spin, and that spindle is one of the derived words. Here, note that in DR. pinnu = to knit, weave, plait, braid, lace, entwine, bind (4207-Ta); pannu = to weave (Ta); pind = to entwine (ropes) (4160(a)-Ko); pend- = to twist, twine (rope) (Nk); pandna = to roll and twist together filaments into threads [[spin]] (4207-Kur).
