I'm working on it. I've started with APc words having /i/
(not from *ei) and /y/, and so far I have (from Derksen and
Zaliznjak):

- myslI (muHdh-, Grk. mûthos is inconclusive as h2/3+Th ->
h1Th, as per Rasmussen)
- synU (suHnus), discussed, but not resolved.
- z^ivU see z^iti
- svinIja (Derksen: suH-iHn-iH-eh2, not helpful).
- divo (diHwo-)
- pivo, see piti
- gnilU, see gniti
plus the verbs already adduced (viti, gniti, liti, piti,
z^iti, plyti, byti).

I'm currently looking at APa and Apb in Zaliznjak. Haven't
looked at Baltic yet.
