What Do We Need to Comfirm Stem?

[Emma May Smith]

I've done a bit of research into something I've taken to calling "[qo] triplets". Basically three words which are the same except one form starts [qo], another [o], and the third with a null/empty "prefix". So a triplet might consist of [qokeedy, okeedy, keedy]. I've put some posts up on my blog about how the different forms seem to be related:

The outcome seems to be that the levels of the [o] and [qo] forms are reliant on the first glyph of the null form. This suggests some kind of relationship between the forms.

I've discussed this at length with Marco (whom I hope will add to this discussion) but we can't find or agree exactly what's happening here. Though we do believe that there's at least the potential we're looking at one of the forms being the root with one or two of the other forms being a variant/derivative.
