I'm afraid so. The -i- of derived i-verbs does not contain a
laryngeal. There were two types, causative-iteratives in *-eyé-, and
denominatives in *-eyé-. I would assume the two morphemes (if
undisturbed by other factors) gave circumflex *-i:~- and acute *-í:-
in Balto-Slavic (but they often were disturbed).
