I've looked for more examples of this that could
support my idea. So:

g^hulos '*crooked > bad' in OCS zUlU

g^hwl.ti > Lith paz^vilti 'to bow'

g^hulnos > paz^ulnus 'slanting, sloping'

So probably *g^hulos formed a new adj. in -no- but
the ul was kept the same even in the new
syllabification, just as I posited for sunna/*suln-.

Also, for *Lk>Luk (as miluks) OCS alUkati but Lith
alkti < *uLk- (or whatever form you prefer to rec.)
'be hungry' < '*lie ill'.
