I see it somewhat differently; starting with values
of h1/2/3 reconstructed for reasons in other
languages:

h1 x^
h2 x
h3 xW

Making the sound system (not all of this is relevant
for this discussion):

Lab Alv Ret Lat PalV Vel RoundV
Vcls p t t. t! k^ k kW
Vcd b d d. d! g^ g gW
Vd A bh dh d.h d!h g^h gh gWh
Fric f s s. ! x^ x xW
Nas m n n. nl n^ N NW
Liq r. l l^ L
Glide y w
High i u
Mid e o
Low a


Syllabic r or l then becomes ra or la before any
consonant in one of the 3 velar series in the same
syllable (not just x^ x xW [h1/2/3]).

Then a > o before x in the same syllable .

Before g^ (and some similar sounds) x > N.

When x^ x xW drop out at the end of a syllable
there is optional metathesis of r/l (similar cases of
metathesis occur such as brum@/burm@).

Finally, o > u.

Other changes reconstructed by others occur during
the above, too.

Other Examples:

dln^gHto-s "lengthened" > g(j)at@ Alb.

bHaxgo-s "beech" > fa:gus Lat., pha:go's Grk., buNg@
Alb.

xWonr,g^ "dream" > o'nar Grk., anurj^ Arm., and@...@
Alb.

bHaxgos xWonr,g^ g^r,xnom pr,xWwos
bHaxgas xWanr,g^ g^r,xnam pr,xWwas
bHaxgas xWanrag^ g^raxnam praxWwas
bHoxgas xWanrag^ g^roxnam praxWwas
bHoNgas xWanrag^ g^roxnam praxWwas
bHoNgas xWanrag^ g^ro_nam pra_was
bHoNgas xWanrag^ g^ronam parwas
bHuNgas xWanrag^ g^runam parwas
bHuNga xWanra g^runa parwa
bHuNga hanra g^runa parwa
buNga hanra g^runa parwa
buNga hanra gruna parwa
buNga handra gruna parwa
buNga andra gruna parwa
buNga andara gruna parwa
buNg@ and@...@ grun@ parw@
buNg@ and@...@ grun@ par@
buNg@ and@...@ grur@ par@


Similarly:

dln^gHtos
dln^gHtas
dlgHtas
dlagHtas
dlaktas
glaktas
glakta
glakt@
glat@
etc.
