palatalized

• “We know that pronouns and numerals contain the so-called palatalized stops exclusively and yet this is completely counter to the principle of phonological markedness.”

  Reinterpreting the Proto-Indo-European velar series

• “As if this isn't enough, even though his revisal of the phonology is fundamentally flawed with the basic data available to us, he goes on to add that chi is not a palatalized velar as his proposed pattern would suggest, but a velar fricative /x/.”

  Some observations concerning Woodard's The Ancient Languages of Europe

• “However, labialized stops, palatalized stops and now ejectives seem to me to be purely imaginative overkill, based on nothing concrete.”

  A new value for Minoan 'd'

• “This then seems like a more natural solution overall than the traditional account which would have us believe in palatalized velars which extend far into pre-IE despite being unstable and despite lacking any indication of a recent source of their supposed palatalization.”

  Markedness and the uvular proposal in PIE

• “Nostraticists, working with the flawed palatalized model of yore, were in effect sent down a wild goose chase for a very long time.”

  The origin of the Indo-European uvular stop (traditionally the "plain, non-palatalized stop")

• “The origin of the Indo-European uvular stop traditionally the "plain, non-palatalized stop”

  The origin of the Indo-European uvular stop (traditionally the "plain, non-palatalized stop")

• “Paleoglot: The origin of the Indo-European uvular stop traditionally the "plain, non-palatalized stop”

  The origin of the Indo-European uvular stop (traditionally the "plain, non-palatalized stop")

• “After becoming *-is, the ending would have rhotacized in Pre-Altaic to *-ir before being palatalized to *-ir₂.”

• “Since I've already theorized that uvulars were only allophones of their velar counterparts at this stage, I've apparently treed myself into a logical pickle and I can't quite account for the source for the added uvularization i.e. the velar stop is "non-palatalized" according to traditional PIE notation, thus according to the reinterpretation of the sound system I stand by, the *-g- in *mesg- would appear to be a uvular creaky-voiced stop.”

  Still on the hunt for Semitic-PIE connections

• “I find palatalized uvulars which occur in some of the weirder North Caucasian languages hard to articulate, but not a simple [ks] or for that matter [kt] with "dental" [t].”

  To be or not to have. That is the question.
