I know, Piotr: the g^noh1-t- forms are still OPEN for debate.
But Rix also write 'metathesis' (not metathesis) recognizing a long path of restructurations , not a simple phonetic transformation
And I have the feeling that Rix has Only Opened the Path....
(like: 'what if, initially, PIE has only CREH- roots?' I know is only a pure supposition, or much simple "who knows what type-root was 'the first' one?" )
On the other hand, the semantism:
*g^neh3- 'to know' -> *g^noh3-t- 'clan'
...is not Ok, versus
*g^enh1- / *g^neh1- 'to beget' -> *g^noh1-t- 'clan'
(at least, not for me)
