Yes, of course. We also have a kind of unstable *-t- in the
individualising suffix *-e/on(t)-, in the adjective-forming suffix
*-wen(t)- ~ *-men(t)- 'having a lot of', and of course in the plural/
oblique forms of *-mn. neuters in Greek: onoma, pl. onomata. Note also
Germanic *xundaz < *k^wn.tós from *k^(u)wo:n/*k^un-V-/*k^wn.-C-.
