Subject: [tied] Re: PIE voiceless aspirates
I wonder: Are there any instances of phonemic difference between
aspirated stops and stops + h in IE?
If this is not the case, perhaps everything that look like aspirated
stops were stops + h(1,2or3) in IE, and the whole consept of aspirated
stops an illution?

Patrick:
I do not anticipate any phonemic difference since *H is plainly aspiration.
*tH or *t + *H would be /tH/.
