*e(:)sr(g_w), *@snes, 343.) -- the Latin word's been befunged somewhat
anyway (-is, -inis doesn't seem normal for L) but it might go there,
more likely than with <haima>.

I was guessing a more archaic nominative singular than <sanguis> would
simply be the stem + -s: *sanguins.  That was how I was going to have
it in my "alternate xeno-latin" :) though maybe I ought to go off and
find another PIE root for "blood" and construct an Italic version ....

Well, the older form than <sanguis> is <sanguen>, parallel to, say, <unguen>..
