What I want to say is that there are Plenty of Irregular Forms here:

Latin (g)no:sco:
Albanian njoh
Lith. žinóti
Toch k~na-
Hittite ganess

MY QUESTION IS : WHY NOT A ROOT CREHH- g^neHH- here in place of g^neh3- ?
WHY IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE a ROOT HAVING DOUBLE LARYNGEALS <CEHH> INSIDE?

I MEAN why not: *g^neh1h3- or *g^neh3h1- or something similar ( *g^neHH) ?

*g^nHH-sk^e~o could count for (g)no:sco: or njoh and to explain this forms based on the regular zero grades R(z)-sk^'e~'o

*g^n-n(e)-HH-ti could count for žina: < žinóti regularly

etc...

Any feedback?
