It depends. We find both reflexes. /Cn/ seems to be phonetically regular
before a vowel -- it's found in older derivatives and in some preserved
case-forms of nouns in *-m(e)n-, especially the instrumental (which was
originally accented even in proterokinetic paradigms). Cf. Alan Nussbaum
(2010) "PIE -Cmn- and Greek tra:né:s 'clear'" (in: Kim, Oettinger,
Rieken and Weiss (eds.), _Ex Anatolia Lux_, Beech Stave Press, Ann
Arbor, pp. 269-277). Very often, however, *m was restored analogically,
as e.g. in the Skt. regularised instr.sg. <ás'mana:> beside the more
archaic (and irregular) <ás'na:> (PIE *h2ák^-mon-). *(h1)wed-n-o- is the
expected thematic derivative of *(h1)wéd-mo:n, parallel to *bHudH-n-ó-
from *bHudH-mé:n. Inflected forms are of course more likely to be
reshaped by analogy than derived words.
