I see. But I just spoke about languages showing well the root *weid-: in Germanic there are special phonetic rules that disfigure roots originating, as the [p] in Latin pater, Ancient Greek "patér", Former Indian pitár that Germanic voiced and became fricative [f]: German Vater, English father, for instance.
