""Here you have some clues to better understand a few words:

-aitis ‘part’ (cf. Oscan aeteis, aíttíúm: gen. sg. /pl.; Gr. aisa <*aitia ‘share, portion’).

-*dem ‘to build’ (Nikolaev 2006) gives dō̆ms ‘house’ (domos/domus is also possible); demr̥ ‘the building (with a singulative –r/-n suffix, as per Pronk 2014, p. 340), demmn̥ ‘the activity of building’, gen. dm̥menos.

wrēmn̥ ‘object’, also originally ‘word’, root *u̯er ‘to speak’, cf. Toch. A wram Toch. B wreme <*u̯rēmn̥ ‘object’, Gr. rēma ‘word, saying’; For the confusion of the two meanings, cf. Toch. A rake, Toch.B reki ‘word, command’, Slav. rečь <*rēk(o)i- ‘word, thing’ (depending on the dialect), cf. also Gr. lógos. -woiksmos/ woikslā ‘village’, cf. Lat. villa, Av. vaēsma-.

ghordhos/ wrijḗn entails the idea that we are dealing with an enclosed settlement. (Roots *gher-dho and *wer). Cf. Gordion, Stuttgart, Graz, Slav. Grad/ Gorod etc., and Toch. A ra, Toch B riye, pl. riñ).

-bhr̥ghos ‘elevated city’, cf. Germ. Burg, Celtic briga.

-bhūtā́ (Celt., Germ., Slav.), root *bhHeu ‘to be’; trobhā́ (Celt., Ital. Slav.), root *trebh; eukos (Slav. IIr. ), root *Heuk, is simply a dwelling / Wohnung / logement / vivienda.

-krowos is a shelter (cf. Germ., Celt. and Slav. pendants).

-tegtom/ stegos is a roof (Lat. tectus, etc.).

-lūmn̥ ‘threshold’ is based on the correspondence between Lat. līmen and Hitt. kattaluzzi-, litt. meaning ‘breaking’, cf. esp. ‘nota de corte’.

aidhis ‘homehearth, foyer’, cf. *h2eidh ‘to burn’, Lat. aedēs, aedificium.

-kēlā (skr. śālā, etc.)/ wosjom (root *Hu̯es ‘to live, remain’) is the general term for ‘room, camera’.

-kāpos ‘plot of land’ (cf. Gr. kēpos ‘garden’).

-ghortos ‘garden’, from the root *gher-to-, cf. Lat. hortus, etc.

-skandslā (root skVnd-) ‘stair(s)’ is a transponatum of Lat. scāla/scālae. -stoighos ‘street’ (cf. Go. staiga).

bhrēwā ‘bridge’ is a transponatum of the Celtic brīva, related to the word *h3bhruH ‘eyebrow’. The Greco-Armenian géphūra/kamurǰ (and Hattic hammuruwa-? ‘beam’) isogloss *gu̯m̥bhr has no clear Indo-European etymology.

-kleitrom (root *klei ‘recline, support’) ‘foundation, support’ (cf. Lat. clītella ‘pack-saddle’, Engl. hlæd(d)er, ladder, OIr. clithar ‘shelter, protection’, etc.).

-klowetlom has been reconstructed on the basis of Lat. cloāca and Venetic klovetlom, so it is a very local isogloss.""
