Nominative Plural of Feminine Nouns (Class I)

Why is *kápras reconstructed for both nominative and accusative plural? Shouldn't it be *kápre for nominative plural (and *kápras only for accusative plural)? Making *kápras the nominative ignores e.g. Italian, which has "capre" as plural of "capra". The -e ending in Italian is a reflex of Latin's -ae, which is the nominative plural suffix in this declension. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brunoczim (talkcontribs) 00:24, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
