On Linear A: she claims that -ss- and -nth- phonemes that appear in place names in Continental Greece are Luwian. On Etruscan, that they are originally Anatolian, and share with PIE a complex flexional system with many parallels, she claims.

-nth- seems to be from -ndh- and may just be cognate to Anatolian forms. Doesn't it also exist in either Thracian or Dacian as well?

Wasn't there just a recent discussion on -ss-?
