could the pie not having two voiced stops in roots imply that laryngeals were generated under that condition as allophones of plain voiced stops in pre pie similar to the explanation for the lack of pie *b by b->
this would also agree with h1/d varients
maybe a rotic approximate maybe allophonicslly a vowel(as with english) or perhaps a palatal fricative for d->h1, a velar fricative for g->h3, and a uvular approcimate/fricative for gw->h2
its common for kw to become q but gw is more difficult because G is only postvoiced the tongue base interferes with voicing, possible it was a rounded fricative that then retracted
h2 has to be uvular because velar sounds are not A shifting
gw could be the source of h3 instead and g retract in response but this is doesnt have the common change kw->q, and is more difficult if you except the existence of palatal velars ģ needing to presumably merge into g doing this by retracting past gw to an uvular sound is more unlikely than to a velar
d intially to a alveolar tap then to an approximate thos is the most normal lemition, a palatal frivtive or lateral fricative are agreeable for h1 and d sometimes changes to tsl or y but i dont know how, a plain glotal frictive is also acceptable for h1 but doesnt explain h1/d alternating in some roots, those would have to be explained as loans with multiple varients
