*H2 wasn't voiced to begin with. In Indo-Aryan it aspirates stops
without voicing them. The same is true for *H1. Only *H3 causes any
voicing.
====================
H2 stands for 8 proto-phonemes.
4 are voiced :
*& *z *dz *h
4 are glottalized.

Phonotaxis of proto-Indian
not to be confused with indo-iranian
has is that t/k/p followed by any H :
yields th kh ph
but this cannot be projected into PIE
It applies to Proto-Indian alone.
