No. I guess Richard points out to the possiblity that the "dh" was
restored and how can it be rulled out. And this possibility should be
rulled out via some arguments. I could think now at an example in Rom.
where the plural was not influenced by singular or so. We take for
instance the verb "to take" which is:

1 sg iau
2 sg iei
3 sg ia
1 pl luãm
2 pl luatsi
3 pl ia

thus there is no influence of sg over pl or such. If there are some
examples where one can show a such restoration, then the possibility
stil persist.
