The root which Pokorny gives as *bho:i- ~ *bh&i- ~ *bhi:-
"sich fürchten", corresponds to LIV (p. 72) *bheih2- (*h2
because of CLuw. pi:ha-, Lyc. piXe- "fear" < *bhéih2-os).

I think I already mentioned that (from LIV): *h2 because
of CLuw. pi:ha-, Lyc. piXe- "fear" < *bhéih2-os. *h1 does
not give Anatolian /x/. Theoretically, it could be *h3,
which sometimes gives /x/ and sometimes doesn't (opinions
differ), but is much rarer than *h2 in any case.
