Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/meh₂ḱ-

Root

 * 1) to raise, increase
 * 2) long

Reconstruction notes
The LIV notes that the only satem language evidence for the palatal *ḱ comes from 🇨🇬 and its derivatives. The LIV attributes this word to a dialectal variant of 🇨🇬 from. This would also help explain the short root vowel found throughout the Avestan forms. If Avestan does not belong here, then *meh₂k- could very well be the correct form.
