Reflexes of IE. laryngeals in four Finnish words

The first attempts to relate Balto-Finnic (BF.) loan words to IE. prototypes with retained laryngeals can be traced back to work by Björn Collinder and above all to Tryggve Sköld (1960), and thanks to the work by Koivulehto (1991) we have now arrived at a sufficiently extensive set of equations to make it likely that we have here a coherent system of correspondences and not just isolated, and thus a priori questionable, instances. Although one cannot escape the feeling that some of the novel equations adduced by Koivulehto fail to convince, this is not true for his set of words with an IE. laryngeal in the anlaut, reflected in BF. loan words by an anlauting k(op.cit, pp. 23-51). The cases are 1) Fi. kasa 'spike, protruding object; corner ~ IE. *h2aKo-, Gmc. agjo, e.g. in OHG. ekka 'spike; cutting edge of sword, 2) Fi, kallis 'expensive; dear ~ IE. *h2alye/o-s, Gmc. *alja, e.g in OHG. ella 'Nebenbuhler, 3) Fi. kaski 'Schwende, burn-beaten land ~ IE. *h2azg-, Gmc. *askon, e.g. in OHG. aska 'ash, 4) Fi. kasva'to grow ~ IE. *h2awg-s, e.g. Lithuanian augti 'to grow, Gothic aukan 'to propagate, breed, 5) Fi. kesä 'summer ~ IE. *hies-en-/*hiosene.g. in Slavic *jesenb, 'autumn, Gothic asans 'harvest, crop; summer, 6) Fi. kesy 'tame; amenable, compliant ~ IE. *h\esu-/*h\sue.g. in Sanskrit su 'good, Slavic sb[a verbal prefix], 7) Fi. koke'to look after nets and other hunting equipment devices ~ IE. h3okye/o'to see, Slavic aciti, e.g. in Polish zobaczyc 'to see [prefixed perfective verb], 8) Fi. kuto'to weave ~ ./Pre-Baltic *h2udah2 as in Lith. austi/audziu 'to weave. Six of these are immediately striking, at least to me, and even the less convincing Nr. l and Nr. 6 are not unthinkable. While the realistic possibility of IE. laryngeal reflexes in some BF. words can therefore no longer be denied, the proposed instances naturally still need to be refined, and the set may perhaps be further extended. Here I report on four new possible ancient IE. loan words in BF. in which I suggest
