How the Greek words thauma "wonder", taphos "wonder, admiration" and thambos "wonder" can be related? Beekes related them as Pre-Greek cognates, but there is some IE possibility?

thambos < *TangWo- < *TaNXW ?
thauma < *Tauma- < *TaWma- <*TaNXWa- ?
taphos- < *TaPos- < *tHaXWos < *tHNXWos- ?

Beekes quoted a similar pair krambos/krauros, it seems the same alternation...
