Yes. LIV has *skend- (> *skand- as in Lat. scando: by Schrijver's plain
velar colouring, which means that the alleged "vocalisme expressif et
populaire" is in fact lautgesetzlich. The Ved. aor.inj. skán is a
regular reflex of *skánd-t; the *d is visible everywhere else, including
Ved. skándati < *skánd-e/o- caskanda < *(s)ke-skónd-e, skandáyati <
skond-éje/o-.
