1. bH_h_i is not a noun is a nil-grade of a verbal root
2. Next bH_h_i is an impossible cluster in PIE in such situation the
laryngeal metathesis appeared *bHih- (there is a very good article of
Matassovic about PIE syllabification having some very good examples,
if I could find it again on the net I will indicate you the link)
3. ...and the noun appeared as *bHih-eh2- (as an example) 'the fear'
(see Derksen on Leiden)

First you say "bH_h_i . . . is a nil-grade of a verbal root."

Then you say "bH_h_i is an impossible cluster."

You are not capable of rudimentary logic.
