Was 'k^red' already joined to 'dheH-' at this stage
of the language? The Vedic reflexes were not.

Also, is 'tebhi' an accurate reconstruction? I would
have expected something more akin to the Vedic and
Greek 2nd-person enclitics, and in the dative case.

So how about "k^rét toy dhe-dhoH-mi" with no accent
on the enclitic or the verb?

I'm assuming that the reduplicated stop of the verb
had yet to lose its aspiration at this stage?

The emphasis in this case taking the form of raised
pitch though, not stress as in English.
