It's normally *-h3kW-o- in thematic formations. See *próti-h3kW-o-m
'face, front' > Skt. práti:ka- 'surface, face', Toch.B pratsa:ko
'chest', Gk. coll. próso:pe:. The long vowel in Tocharian and Greek
comes from laryngeal breaking. See also *h2anti-h3kW-o- > Lat.
anti:quus/anti:cus, Gmc. adjective-forming *-i:G-a- < *-i-h3kW-o-, etc.
