*bhe2- "say":
E-grade G phe:mi (Dor pha:mi); L fa:ri:
O-grade G pho:ne: "voice"
0-grade G phatos  (ppl of phe:mi)

o: vs o: is ever so slightly harder to discern, but *de3- "give" may have
o-grade *do3- in G do:ron, L do:num "gift", opposed to what should certainly be
e-grade in *de-de3-mi "I give" > G dido:mi, Skt dada:mi.
