Well, none of the examples below are given by Sihler as
examples of o-derounding, which is why I asked.

>o>a after a rounded or labial C

That's rather from *kWtwó:r, like Grk. pisures or
(West-)Slavic c^Ityre.

>L faber < *dhobhro-s

From *dhabhros, cf. Arm. darbin.

>L pars < *porti-s

From *pr.Htí-, cf. Skt. pu:rtí-. *port- gives port- as in
portare, porta, portus, etc.

>L mare < *mori

Here Celtic points to *mori, Latin to *mari.

>L maneo: *moneye-

From *mn.-éh1- "I stay". *mon-éye- gives moneo: "I warn".
