I agree enthusiastically, and there's no need to confine ourselves to
onomatopoeic roots. Besides, there are traces of alternation *-eNC-/*-
e^C- in Slavic, and in Lithuanian dialects alternations like -ei-/-en-
(eN)-, -au-/-an-(-aN-) etc. are quite often, so we may be dealing
with a Balto-Slavic phenomenon here.
