The PIE root *ghedh- can be found in 3 entries [gather (v.); together (adv.); good (adj.)]. Should *ghedh- have an entry on its own, like many other PIE roots?
I recommend writing your own draft for this entry and emailing it to Doug or Talia for them to consider adding. There a helpful note on entries for reconstructed ancestral words here:
Proto-Indo-European roots… were added to the best of the editor’s ability, mainly based on the Watkins “American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots” but also by consulting Pokorny and such more recent works as are available for Latin, Greek, and Germanic in the Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series (see “sources”)."
Yeah, I totally agree that it deserves its own main entry. It’s weird how some closely related PIE roots get separate breakdowns while others end up bundled or scattered, especially given how distinct the semantic shifts to modern English words like “gather,” “together,” and “good” actually are. A dedicated root entry would definitely make comparative tracking much easier for anyone diving deep into etymology.
By the way, managing all these deep digital research sessions means I usually keep a few other browser tabs open for quick household tasks—like logging in to check out monthly utility details and power expenses online so I don’t forget to pay them later—before getting completely lost down another rabbit hole of historical linguistics.
