So, < ° > is basically a (reduced grade) schwa of sorts; what I have
indicated as <6>, contrasting with <$> for the schwa derived from reduced
grade 'laryngeals'.
Thank you for a straightforward answer.

I'm afraid you haven't really understood
what I mean.
*° is a phonological unstressed vowel
resulting from unstressed PIE *e
your <$> does not exist in my system.
there is *no* reduced grade laryngeal.
A laryngeal is a consonant,
it *never* can surface as a vowel.
dh°H1 is the in Greek, dhi in Sanscrit
otherwise dha
dH1 is -t-.
this is what I mean.
