I know that, in fact that was the very impetus for my own little renewed
investigation. I find the same idea expressed in a manuscript of a
university class I gave in 1972, but I have since found what I believe is
evidence against it. The example ánas- does not count: the root is in fact
*H3enH2-. I can't reveal the details just yet, for it is not of my doing;
but certainly the possibility that the root also ends in a laryngeal will
be hard to exclude.
