One of the Big Question here, Sergei was the following:

1. Do we have <Verb>+dHeh1- constructions in PIE that gave a <Verb>?

The answer of this question was in relation with
'a PIE origin of the Germanic Dental Preterit'

I asserted that initially PIE created (isolated) verbs base on
<Verb>+dHeh1- = <Verb> pattern

and when this number arrived to be important some daughter languages
arrived to generalized such constructions using this type of
derivation in the construction of different verbal aspects

Now I'm convinced based on <gimdýti> and <mindýti> (and not only)
that formations like : <Verb>+dHeh1- = <Verb> existed in PIE
