One similar example, is vale:re :

This is an -eh1-stative, formed as usual, from the zero-grade *wlh2-eh1-that gives *vala:re ==> with regular -h2-eh1- > a: ....

BUT the word is vale:re so it was reshaped in e: => vale:re in order to retain the stative suffix e:

THIS CLEARLY SHOW YOU THAT A RESHAPE PROCESS TOOK PLACE.

Also a reshaped form can appear (sometimes) for one word and not to appear for others. Do you want examples?

So your -a: examples, cannot serve as arguments, when we are talking about re-shaping.
