Re: classical Greek (and Latin) vowels

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the book suggestions. _Vox Graeca_ et _Vox Latina_ have
been on my list for awhile, so per your suggestion, I think I'll
check them out from my college library over break. (They have two
copies a piece of different years of them.) They also have _The Indo-
European languages_, so I'll give that a look as well. Thanks very
much.
