possibly list at least some of the lexical examples you are
mentioning? Thank you in advance.
From Finnic we have (see the Laryngeal entry in Wikipedia):
Finnish PIE
kal-ja (beer) *h2el (bitter)
lehti (leaf) *bHlh1dH (leaf)
Not that these two examples are unproblematical...
The Wiki article also mentions Finnish teke (do) and links it PIE
*dHeh1 (put, place, do). However, I seem to remember PIE having a
root *tek meaning to do or make.
My relevant possible Etruscan-PIE cognates:
PIE Etr
*k'eh1i (set in motion) ces (lay, set, establish)
*leh1i/leh1u (leave behind) les (offer, give)
Okay, it's a pretty small list, but I did say it was all uncertain.
