who never read Martinet
has made his

I have never read Martinet, and his nutty idea that *H2 is a dorsal

Martinet
Word 9 (1955) p 253-267
translated into French
Economie des changements phonétiques, 1970,
p216
"une consonne que l'on appelle
traditionnellement "laryngale"
note n° 12 :
ce qui ne veut pas dire qu'il faille
nécessairement l'imaginer sous la forme
d'une articulation laryngale.
None of you incompetent
condescendent and infatuated
bloated learned
has read Martinet.
Stop cheating with obvious facts.
