No, I'm just talking about ?-stems, not glottalized
stop stems.

In addition to the ones you list, there's 'think',
which has a preverb of some kind but it's the ?iN that
is conjugated.  And there's our mysterious *?e: 'be??'

> *k?a... *k?o... *k?e... in onomatopeics for grating
noises

course, 'pack on the

suus-form.
