BTW my using h2(=x)/k in a reconstruction doesn't mean I've given up
the idea that *k^ (etc.) was *c^/k, alternating in some specific
succeeding context, eg front vowel vs back vowel/consonant, and the
*kW (etc.) alternated similarly *k/kW, and that the plain dorsals,
non-aternating *k (etc.) occur in loans only; both *bhu- and *y-
have 'loan-cognates' in Semitic, according to Möller.
