And what is your "Chinese" proof?
I have been working hard on my new essay, and need a good laugh.

***
Chinese xu4 "raw silk, thread" < *sneH1-
Baxter *snjaH
Chinese xiu4 "embroider" < *syewH1
Baxter *sjuwH
Chinese xiu4 "sleeve" < *sluH-(bh)
Baxter *zluwH-
PIE loanwords with H1 pharyngeal unvoiced
causing QuSheng.
H2 causes ShangSheng.
As in kuH2on "dog" > quan3.
Baxter *kuHen
Cf. PAA kvHvn "dog"
What about your essay ?
I need a good laugh too.
