(a) Bird offers a summary of Pokorny's roots, identifying the core elements,
and ignoring the variety of extensions.   He ends up with 2050 such roots.
Of these exactly 775 have neither e nor e: anywhere.   The number of CeC
roots (i.e. with no resonant) is 548.

(b) How are you treating roots which show CeRC / CRC ablaut?
