Typo. Per definitionem, by definition. A law can be
violated, per definitionem, by definition, otherwise
it weren't a law.
Please learn the meaning of "sound law."
Sound laws allow some reconstructions and forbid
others. Higher mathematical equations have more
than one solution, one must then choose the useful
one in the given context. Einstein's relativistic
equations have many solutions, among them freak
solutions, however, it turned out that one of the
freak solutions was a most valuable one, revealing
cosmic monsters called black holes. Now if the sound
laws of PIE hold, there are the traditional solutions
provided by comparative linguistics, and now there
is a new one, the Magdalenian solution. I prepared
a test case concerning words for wolf, differring
pointedly from the traditional PIE reconstruction;
apparently it is possible under the sound laws
of PIE, as nobody pointed out a violation of
one of those sound laws in my reconstruction.
Not receiving any objections does not mean that none exist and it certainly doesn't mean you are right.
