There is not nor has there ever been an infix in PIE-derived languages.
Rasmussen's *o-infix is oure fantasy. The only phenomenon that looks like an
infix is *CVnC, which is either 1) a metathesis from *CVC-n-;

I'm interested to learn more about Rasmussen -o- infix
even though it's probable I will adhere.
I suppose it may already have been discussed.
Now, the -n- in Latin fra-n-go
and Greek deik-n-u- mi
have nothing in common.
Latin -n- is a present-meaning morpheme
Greek -n- in that word is derivational and
it's tense/aspect neutral.
Other infixes in PIE are :
-r- -l- -t- -dh- -s-

You said that I invented a word
which you could not find (as usual...)
I did not lie nor attempted to deceit.
