This is mind-numbing blindness.

While PIE *t + *H can produce Old Indian <th>,

*dh + *H never has and never did.

The zero-grade, for anyone but our resident nilist, of *dhe(:)H- is *dh&-.

As for -dh- and -d-, why do you not prove Pokorny wrong, Arnaud? So easy for
you since everyone else is wrong a priori.
