Is this something that happened in PIE or independently in the
daughter languages? Since the laryngeals develop differently in the
daughter languages I would assume the restoration of *e occured post-
break up. But if that's the case then is it reasonable that such
analogical effects took place in all the languages where the word is
attested?
