I understand now. You took the "g^" in the absolutely way.
I told you I dont know ( why should I say I know?) which one of these
"g" became palatalised and in witch conditions.
Maybe there is none since the "z" can be from palatalization of "d" or
from sonorisation of "s".
I don't think is correct to say there was a thracian "z" because
somewhere there is a Latviann "s"
Duridanov shows an interesting paralelism:
Thracian : genoukla (meaning unknown)
latvian :dzenuklis= Sumpf
Alex shows Latin : genuculum ( knie)
So, what now? What to think about if the meaning is unknown?
I can discuse the whole list of Duridanov including dacian "Paspigios"
and lithuanian "Paspiriai" but romanian "Pas pe gios". Do we have
something from here?
I gues, we dont. It is still to unclear the relationship for making a
definitive assumption about the nature of a language specyaly when you
have "centos" in this language ( See Aulucentos & Co.)
