Yes, that Schrijver's 'language of bird names' is identical to
Vennemann's Semitic-like 'Atlantic'.

What we got is two words so far :
a-mes- "black-bird" : from *H1_m-s "black"
(Germanic a < H1om) H1 is part of the root
laHi- / laHu-erkâ "lark" : form *l_Hi/u "to sing"
Celtic a-lauda- < H2a- (H2 is a prefix : Verb > Noun)
Good old PIE.
 
A-rud "ore" < h1(o)r(o)udh- "red"
 
Sound a bit light to document a "language",
Is there something else ?
 
So far I see no reason to add a new "language"
to account for data easily dealt with within PIE framework.
