*p&2té:r, G. *p&2trés, Npl. *p&2téres.

In Olsen's formulation, the "pre-aspirating" effect of *h1
and *h2 applies only to the consonantal (non-vocalized)
allophones.

Cf. also *dhug&2té:r, with no /th/ in either Greek thugáte:r
or Skt. duhitá:. The "post-aspiration" in the latter form
(*g > *gh before *h2), suggests that this was an older
(sporadic?) phenomenon (dating to before the laryngeal was
vocalized).

The lack of pre-aspiration looks like yet another argument
in favour of root-stress in the word for "mother". Skt. has
ma:tá: against Greek mé:te:r. Both the failure of Dybo's
Italo-Celtic(-Germanic) pretonic shortening law, and the
absence of Olsen's law support PIE *méh2te:r (so would the
lack of Verner's law in Germanic, but analogical Ausgleich
has made that picture rather blurry).

We further have bhráh2te:r and *yén&2te:r, both with
root-stress. Any other kinship terms in *-h2ter-?
