[AK] I am not aware for any rule that *H2ep- would yield Latin /a/,
niether for *H1e- > Latin /a/. As far as I know, Latin was not
affected by initial laryngeals, see: *H1es-, *H1ed-, *H1epo-, even
*H1ag'- (cf. Albanian jam: Latin sum, Albanian ha: Latin ed-yo, Alb.
hap, prapë: Latin ab etc.). Colored *H2ep- to H2ap- yields simply
Latin /a/.
Pokorny gives three basic form *ap- (richtiger &p-): e:p-. If we
accept last form, we know that it is from contracted form *eH1p- with
zero-grade form *H1p- and metathesized form should be *H1ep-.

[AK]
Alb. <jap> 'to prodce, give, work' with variant forms <ap>, <nap> is
supposed to come from *H3ep- and has nothing to do with any *H2ep-.
