Re: PIE meaning 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

===========

The only languages I know that admit
the contruction Verb + Verb = Verb
are Chinese, Turkish, Japanese...
Asserting this feature in PIE is "costly".

Another objection is the fact
such a construction should enter
a paradigm and
there is no reason *dh_H1 is
the only verb that had this feature.
What other verbs VV can fit in the equation :
Verb + VV = Verb ?
