[INDOLOGY] Help with dī́divim

[Carmen Spiers]

The intensive would give de-dī... these adjectives are at least
synchronically made from perfect stems. Anyway jāgr̥vi- is another example
of an adjective of this type with a double suffix, and in Avestan it only
has the -u- suffix, so Grestenberger suggests there were some -u-
adjectives that were secondarily given -i- suffixes in Sanskrit. dī-di-u-i,
jā-gr̥-u-i
