Yes. As for h2o, it's a shame that the first syllables in
*sokh2oy "companion" (Skt sakha)
and *h²onh¹ breath (Skt ana-)
are closed by the laryngeal.

But what about the rather unlikely root *wortoko "quail" P1180 Skt vartaka-
(m) vartika: (f) ?
And what of the Avestan gava "hands" Pok 403 (< *gow&)? I confess, I don't
even know if Brugmann's Law applies to Avestan.

Nor for *kob fit, *gol branch, *k'olemos rod, *kol(e)y lime, *kom beside,
*log' rod

>and we have only the

And of *sol(e)wo safe (Skt sarva)
