Tocharian and Sanskrit give evidence of something like zero grade
*gWnah2 for woman, though there may well be yet another laryngeal in
there. Greek _gune:_ is isolated, and is probably a Greek innovation.

you are confusing the graphic conventions of
orthodox PIE with real phonable words.

*gWneH2 cannot exist as a word.
Orality must have been [guneH2]
or [gneH2] with [w] erased.

You can add Irish mna.
