1. Is true also that there is 'a second' root :
PIE *mneh2- 'to mention' [Pok.726, LIV 447]
These root 'really exist' and is different from men- (< mon-eye-)
2. And is true also that we could have here a secondary-root :
PIE *mneh2- --> PIE *menh2- > from where > *monh2-eye
3. The Semantism is Ok too : 'to mention, to remember' -> 'to warn'
4. In this case *monh2-eye is /mon-h2e-ye/ and the o is preserved in a closed-syllable based on Schriver's Theory
