*mn- because I want to derive it from *mVn- "thought, mind, man"
etc, which I think is a Wanderwort connected with some Neolithic
religious revolution, including the invenmtion of a concept of mind,
*-u since I assume there are two locative endings *-i and *-u, and
I'm not sure **-mni would lead to something useful, and because I
can propose *mnú > *nú "now" and thus would get tree deictic
particles corresponding to the verbal sg endings
*-mnu
*-sa
*-ta
and corresponding to the three Hittite connectives nu-, sa-, ta-.

And nothing else?
