There's a bunch of guesses on how *h₁ *h₂ and *h₃ were pronounced in this Wikipedia page. They're usually defined by their effect in child languages though, so it's possible that some of those were actually multiple sounds.

For *h₃ you'll often see values like [ɣʷ] or [ʁʷ]; a labialised consonant (to explain why it often turns nearby vowels into [o] ) and voiced (as there are some claims that it voices nearby consonants, mostly Cowgill's Law)

My personal guess for *h₃ is completely heterodox, [ɸ]~[β]. I think that it's directly associated with *b being so uncommon in PIE.

Happy Lemmiversary
I wish we could follow individual users because I could listen to you talk about PIE aitches for the next couple thousand years

Thank you! Sadly, I don't talk too much about PIE in Lemmy because... well, it's kind of a niche subject that most users don't care too much about.

Feel free to ask for further info on stuff, though. I do enjoy talking about it!

Wow, that article is all proto-indo-european to me!
