I have not read of anyone hypothesizing voiced aspirate plosives for PIE, but then my only source currently is the biannual Journal of Indo-European Studies. My conlang Senyecan purports to be the Ursprache that evolved into pre-PIE. Originally there were voiced and unvoiced plosives and fricatives. The loss of certain phonemes and the evolution of others in pre-PIE is explained in the conculture by a "Tower of Babel" type of process. Charlie
