In fact, assuming that the sounds /c^i/, /c^e/,/g^e/,/g^i/,/s^/,/z^/,
/ts/, have already existed in the period prior Roman qonquest in
Thracian, which should have been for Greeks and Romans the posibility to
write down these "barbaric" sounds?
I am sure just on /ts/ which in a later period ( after 100 AC) have been
mentioned in Greek as /tz/, but for the rest?
