And there was also Silta (Str.), associated to IE *k^L-to- 'warm', and
compared to Lith. Siltupis etc.,
and above all Byzantium, from Thracian *buzas 'goat' < IE *bhug^o-, cfr.
Avest. buza etc.
So, Thracian (like Dacian) was a "satem" language, but "Pelasgian", the
other "inthos"-language, probably not.
Or have you some evidence of a satem language in (southern) Greece ?
