(so-called) laryngeals? Can anybody give me any examples, please?
Thank you.

It's been suggested that word final h2 (the only laryngeal found word
finally) developed from PPIE *k (*k doesn't appear word finally).
Bomhard, IIRC, reconstrcuts 4 laryngeals and equates them with 4
Afrasian laryngeals. Kortlandt reconstructs 3 laryngeals and links
them to Uralic and Altaic uvulars. Unfortunately I can't help you with
examples.
