>I can't see in what way these two are supposed to be parallel. The alternation *-(e)n-/*-r in *negWHr- is restricted to the word-final element. But in your hypothetical **h1esh2-r-gW- we have a stem-internal alternation, and **h1sh2-an-gW-en- contains an extra *-en (in addition to the one that alternates with *-r-) not found in inguen- (which is an uncontroversial zero-derivative of *ngWH-en-).

The parallel is that a new nominative was made from the oblique stem,
something Glen claimed to be "unsubstantiable within the context of
known IE grammar".

The r/n-stems are PD, so a stem internal alternation *h1ésrh2(gw) ~
*h1sh2ángw- is perfectly regular. So is *néghwr ~ *nghwén-.
