There are no phonemic long vowels in Aegean languages and the only valid syllable shape would have originally been (C)V(C); no word-initial consonant clusters; the coda consonant being restricted to Glen Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440249042894225949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202150793869184289.post-79756724417473348612010-09-20T01:44:35.526-05:002010-09-20T01:44:35.526-05:00I don't know whether you have seen that Kloek...I don't know whether you have seen that <a href="https://openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/bitstream/1887/11996/5/02.pdf" rel="nofollow"> Kloekhorst</a> discusses a possible IE etymology for Hittite šalik- in his etymological dictionary (p. 820/821).

Even though it's clear that <B>Caθas paχana-c</B> represents a noun phrase joined by conjunctive, we should in all honesty expect instead <I>both</I> members of the pair to be declined in their respective genitive forms.
