Careful now, Basque *does* have -n/-r- "heteroclisis" of sorts
(e.g. <egun> "day", <egur-aldi> "weather"[*]) and even one case
of true -r/-n- heteroclisis (erg. <haur> oblique <hon-> "this").

[*] Despite PII *ag^her, ag^hnas "day", I do *not* think that the
Basque phenomenon can be equated with the PIE one.
