Are there another examples of this assimilation labiovelar>labial beside p...kW>kW...kW? Is there any example of bH...gW > gWH...gW?

*gWelbH-  "womb" > expected *gWelgWH > *velgua > Latin vulva?

*bHegW "to run, flee" > ... ?



The only examples I know is the famous:
*pekW- "to cook"
*perkWu:- "oak, mountain oak"
*penkWe "five"

The *m points to *kWm.p-st-, not to *kWn.kW-st-, so this must be a case
of *p..kW > *kW..p- metathesis rather than assimilation.
