*gw- is one phoneme (no superscript on my machine, we are talking
about the labiovelar stop here, this internet limitation is the
reason i use q' on my homepage) and the next is a nasal. Where does
the -u- appear from? It is certainly not part of the root!

=============
**gwneh2- does not exist a word.
it either *gu--neH2 (with no morphological e/o)
or *gwe--n (with e)
In both cases, it cannot become neH2

which does not have the right vowel. (en plus !)

I maintain that
this is an impossible etymology.
