To clarify, kYw > kWw ( > etc.) appears true (-q- in Myc), but not kw (if, as likely, kapnías = smoky () is conn. to {kapniya()} Myc = chimney).
Also, kYw- > kWw- > kW- seems to give k / p / t before i , not just t:
çvíndate: = glare / gleam S;
Píndaros = (name; "Fair" ?) G;
Píndos = (mt; "White(-Capped)" ?) G;
çvítna- \ çvitn[i]yá- = white S;
Titáne: \ Pitáne: Lac = (name; "Fair" ?) G;
Títaros = (mt; "White(-Capped)" ?) G;
and parallel but opposed in phon. to your *k(^)wi-twa-ti- > *tisatis, Pok. gives sim. to (though it easily might not be right):
*kYwitwnxó+s > *kYwitwëno+s > títanos \ kíttanos (f\m) = chalk G;
