There's very little similarity. The IE "essive" present of <valeo:,
vale:re> was *wl.h(2?)-h1je/o-. Its Latin development is of course
parallelled by many other similar stems, but not anything like -h2-aje/o-.

Of course they can, since there's a whole bunch of them and they all
behave _unlike_ yor proposed *monh2-. If you want to propose an ad hoc
reshaping unique to that root, be my guest, but I hope you realise that
it undercuts the plausibiliy if your suggestion.
