Very clever but you reveal your ignorance again:
Look for ex. at appi 'father-in-law'. jousi 'bow', kalki 'hair, down
straw', koski 'rapids' and kusi 'urine' and their reconstruction in
the table:

Ponder and learn.
And 'kaski' was of course not PU, it was borrowed in the west later.

=================
You are blithely taking
standard PU reconstructions for gold.
Some associations of vowels are impossible :
a > a
a_i > ä_i
o > o
o _i > ö_i
u > u
u_i > y_i
Western PU has the same kind of umlaut
as German has.
But this does not apply to Kant / MAns
Your reconstruction with final -i
and a o u
as main vowels are just impossible.
