Would *bheh2- "glänzen, leuchten, scheinen" (LIV) suit you?

No.
Because PIE *bh_H2 is from *bh_s?-
as shown by Semitic (w_)bh_s?-.

No, not as a cognate in the inheritance sense, which no one proposed
anyway. We were talking about loans. Why is it that every time I must
answer a posting from you, I have to restrain myself?

Dear Torsten

You can first spit out your venom and bile
thru a direct mail to my address,
I will not get offended by bad names,
thru a private mail.
and afterwards, once the sweat has dried,
and the anger has cooled down,
you can write to Cybalist
an academically nice and smooth mail.

Whaddyathink ?

I disagree with the fact you cannot express your point
to the last word and have to restrain.
It's bad for your blood pressure.
