quoting Nessari:

Yeah, I first ran into it in like 1998, and the only thing that's changed since then that wasn't cosmetic so far as I could tell is the url and the local situation update.

Nort: I think what I'm recalling is that I'd been advised by several sources that I could not realistically get away with having č j as reflexes for *ḱ ǵ in an a posteriori IE language. Seems I'll have to rethink that...

o_O do you mean people saying 'don't do this, it's unsupportable' or do you mean books which said č ǰ etc don't occur? And is this part of why you were all weird about Scythian (mine, not the real one) happening to end up distinguishing reflexes of *k ḱ kʷ?

I think people were telling me ḱ ǵ -> č j was unsupportable.

There isn't anything wrong with distinguishing ḱ k kʷ, I suppose, but it's a weird thing to do- the only IE languages that do it, Luwian and Albanian, aren't exactly the poster children for "standard dead IE language".
