In part, especially since I was (fairly clearly, I thought)
less than sure of this by the time you responded to João.

I had enough time, but after Jens replied, I saw no reason
to do so myself.

It stated something that I *didn't* write. It's neither a
quotation nor a paraphrase. In particular, I said nothing
about the voiceless velars, and I did not specify Welsh or
Breton reflexes. I'd probably not have objected to
something like 'Brian's version amounts to the following
scheme', though I'd still have preferred an explicit mention
that the claim for Common Celtic was Jackson's, since I was
taking responsibility only for the OIr outcomes. (Er, so to
speak!)
