Greek can't simultaneously have a vocalic reflex of *h₂ and a lack of one That's exactly what I've been trying to say with my reference to μισθός. Do you think that the connection between h2meygw- and mey- is a given fact? I think we don't need h2mey- if we separate the two roots (which is the most plausible solution IMO); but if we want to show the connection made in LIV we have to write "from h2mey-" because "from mey-" as you did would be wrong.
