Quite right. But I think it's worth mentioning that the existence of a
participle in -itus is strongly suggestive of the presence of a final
laryngeal on the root, except for second declension verbs, where the -i- has
another origin.

Laryngeal final verbs in Latin very often show -ui perfect, -itus ppp. E.g.
gigno, lino, mico, molo, vomo, crepo, and also -sero, -sino where the -i- <
ahort -a- < -H-.
