Do you agree that the <verb>-dHeh1 = <verb> existed in PIE?

I hope that after you wonder yourself yersterday about the huge
number od dH- formations in Lithuanian the answer will be 'Yes'

==============
You have not proved -d- in Lituanian is from -dh-
and
this is unconnected with *dheH1 being a verb or not
in PIE, before that, or later on.

A.

=========================

So despite this Fact: Based on what you are saying, the Germanic
made an ad-hoc choice when decided to choose the verb -dHeh1 in the
weak preterite constructions.

==============
Unproved.
not a *fact*
just an idea
probably bad.
