Our Miguel-gLeN verbal intercourse procedes:

Then if we have both endings like 1ps *-o: and 2ps.middle
*-so, showing clearly a contrast between *o and *o: even
finally, your view that *o < *a: begs the necessary but
futile question: "Where does *o: come from then??"

Either you will desperately reconstruct *-oH versus *-so,
or you will deny reality in some other way, such as inventing
yet another baseless rule to fix the thousands of holes
in your design.

I really can't follow the crazy things you're saying.
