Hmm... I don't believe he proposed vowel-change outside of the
handful of irregular verbs he chose to retain.  It's either an
alternate preposition prefixed, thus a slightly different word,
(which would explain why he glosses it twice) or an oversight.

Yeah, he surely would have had a word for religion already (probably
something in -lor) -- possibly it was a stylistic choice, if not
an oversight.
