> You say PIE /a/ seems to result from nasalization of /o/, then go on to say that /ma:ri/ was nasalized which could produce either /mori/ or /mari/. So is it /o/ or /a:/ that is nasalized after *m, and which are you saying was the original vowel in *mori/mari?

Sorry, I should have written **ma:ri ~ **mã:ri (> *mori ~
*mari). As I have often said here, I believe that PIE */o/
is usually the result of pre-PIE long *a:, while pre-PIE
short *a gives PIE *e.
