Perfect of verb starting with vowel

Piotr explains in yummy detail about the perfect:

>pattern recurs in more than one branches, it's the long-vowelled >perfect
>*e:d- (Lat. e:di:, OE ae:t). [...] We also have "comparative >IE" *a:g^-
>[...] It seems that perfect formation for such roots was a >messy affair
>from very early on.

Well, gee, I guess we won't be needing *H1- then >:) Therefore, I think the
obsession to make *H1 a valid consonant might be a little overboard here,
don't you think?
