Just out of curiosity, and if it's not too much to ask (you may have
written on this before), what about *h2eh1, *h3eh1, *h2eh3, and *h3eh2
(leaving out *h1eh2, *h1eh3 because isn't it so that *h1 does not
affect the following sound)? Which laryngeal prevails in terms of
vowel colouring, in these combinations? Any examples you can muster
would also be greatly appreciated (presumably they will be in initial
position?).
