Don't forget good ol' Gmc. *ku:-, usually explained by assuming *o:u > *u:, though nobody has ever proved that such a development is normal in Germanic. I think something like *gW(o)u-h2- (treated as a consonantal stem, and so rmaining outside the *a:-declension) may underlie it; cf. Greek dru:s 'oak < tree' (*dr(o)u-h2-). But in these cases the hypothetical *-h2 is external to the root.

OK, but it's still possibly *gWowH-ino-.  We have Skt. gu:-tha-, Arm.
ku (*gWuH-t-), W.Germanic *kwa:t- (> Germ. Kot) < *gWeh1-d-, etc.
