*H1 is most likely a result of former *?.
==========
I restate that H1 is an unvoiced pharyngeal
(or unvoiced velar spirant)
Arnaud
=========
There is simply no credible phonological rationale for contact with [?]
_voicing_ a voiceless stop, let alone spirantizing it.
=============
It happens all the time with eastern and central PIE.
Glottal stop (H2) + C > voiced C.
Arnaud
=============
Secondly, the PIE stative suffix cannot be *-eH1 because any PIE morpheme
_must_ begin with a consonant. PIE has no *VC morpheme.
==============
Absurd.

the -d- in the medio-passive adjectives in LAtin
is from -t?-
It has nothing to do with -t-o or -dh_H1
I don't believe in the laryngeal jump-over H-T > T-H
