However, and this is my most important point, we have yet to see
_one_ good example of Eastern -h2g- : Italo-Celt. -kk-, let alone
enough to begin considering changing the phonemic inventory of PIE.
Or have I completely misunderstood what you are saying? Please let me
know, I don't mind being corrected.

=================

I have already provided maybe four times :

*bhel-H2-k "beam"
Gaulish *bala:kon
SKrt bhur-i-jau < -H-g-
Greek phalan-g-s
Latin ful-c-io
Isn't this clear ?

You consider *bhu-H2-k "bock", and *ka?pul "horse" are not acceptable.
Nor kwoH2ta > potta.

I thought you had accepted s-maH2-k "eat, taste"
*makk gallo-romance versus smag-

You have not stated what you think of
O. irl menicc = many ?
and
creicc "buy" < kwriH2-k-
Greek pri-a-o (a = H2)

Now
briccus "speckled" is better compared with *bhreH2-k-
than with Lituanian marga.

Now you're supposed to be better versed in Celtic than me,
you should be able to sort out geminates in Celtic better than me.
