It is your opinion. And there is no need to continue.

Because "h" is not glottal stop. Simple?

No, I do not have. And I do not need any superscript, once again, just like
many many authors of printed sources. And this is not my tradition, it is
the common tradition. H = laryngeal, h = aspiration. Do you read books and
articles on IE?

And please, stop with it. I just write like most authors. Please, show
respect towards it.

Internet? No way. Tools do not change people. But people can change tools.

Let's see... First, Cyril Babaev's TIED, let's say Comparative Latin
Grammar... (http://indoeuro.bizland.com/project/grammar/grammar61.html)
leudh-, not **leudH-, no supersribing. Pokorny's dictionary
(http://ehl.santafe.edu/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=config&morpho=0&basename=/data/ie/pokorny&first=1)
- abhro, no superscribing. Patrick Ryan's site (e.g.
http://www.geocities.com/proto-language/NewIE-VerbalInflection.htm) - weidh,
no superscribing...

Enough? Then... don't let's be like children and let's go back to serious
themes.
