In his article "Komentarz laryngalistyczny do wybranych formacij
litewskich" Smoczyn'ski supposes that in Lithuanian "Szereg
pierwiastków ultimae laryngalis typu -RH pokazuje utrzymanie lrg.
przed obstruentowym sufiksem -t- infinitivi (sta,d akut), ale jej
zanik w formacji praesens a sufiksem -jo- (sta,d paradygmat
ruchomy)". Unfortunately, he as well doesn't explain what in his
opinion the reflexes of *-RH-je- would be had the laryngeal not
disappeared...
