I really don't have an answer to that. I know that they could have said "ins h₂ḱh₂owsyónti" (they hear them) but that's only because that's all I can think of that would be sort-of-valid PIE. For all we know, they used a word that didn't survive in any of the descendants. That is not so surprising if you consider that Germanic hasn't survived 2000 years into any modern Germanic language!
