But we still have acute, eg., in the infinitives: *píti, *býti,
*z^íti etc. Of course, *l is a sonorant and *t is not, so the
vocalization rules might depend on that. Is that what you mean?

For what it's worth, Derksen (at www.indo-european.nl) gives *plh3u-
(read: *pluh3-) for *plyti (fits) and *leh1i- for *liti (doesn't
fit). EIEC gives *siuh1- for *s^iti and *kWeih1- for *-c^iti 'rest'
(Russ. poc^it', poc^íla, Slovenian poc^îla) (both fit). If *nyti
belongs (as is sometimes stated) to *neh2u- 'related to death', then
doesn't fit.
