The alternation traditionally reconstructed as *-tr/lo- ~ *dHr/lo- (Lat.
-trum/-tra/-culum/-cula ~ -brum/-bra/-bulum/-bula, Gk. -t- vs. -tH-).
Olsen shows that in Latin the latter variant occurs regularly after
roots with final *h2 and *h1 (but not *h3).

Does it mean that in LAtin
when the root skeleton ends
- with H then the suffix is -dh-
- with C other than H
the suffix is -t- ?

Is it what I'm supposed to understand ?
