*srenk- "to snore", root of words for "snore, snout, etc."
	onomatopoeic?;
	< ? *sreu- "that which produces a flow, flowing" ?

>This is just the point I'm making : IE dictionaries such as Pokorny and
>Watkins list several *sC- roots (where C= stop or sonorant) which are ofter
>related to *sVC- roots with similar or identical 'meanings', e.g. *skei-
>'cut'/*sek- 'cut'. But no *(s)r- roots appear in Watkins, even though he
>gives *sreu- 'flow, move' along with *rei- 'flow'.
