The PIE laryngeals have syllabic and nonsyllabic reflexes in the separate languages, the former representing an epenthetic vowel that sometimes preserves the color of the laryngeal in Italo-Celtic (Schrijver 1991: 56-73), Graeco-Phrygian (Kortlandt 2016d: 250f.), and Armenian (Kortlandt 2003: 75-78). The consonantal reflexes are a glottal stop ...
An alternative theory, suggested by Eric P. Hamp, is that Phrygian was most closely related to Italo-Celtic languages. Inscriptions.

7.1 Introduction. Many scholars have noted similarities between Italic ( Chapter 8) and Celtic ( Chapter 9 ). Schleicher (1858) was the first to posit an Italo-Celtic node between Proto-Indo-European and Celtic and Italic. 1 But in the 1920s Carl Marstrander and Giacomo Devoto questioned the validity of this subgrouping. 2 Scholarly opinion has ...
8.2 Evidence for the Italic Branch . Positing Proto-Italic as the superordinate node of Latin, Venetic, and Sabellic is not uncontroversial, though it is supported by substantial phonological and morphological evidence: the merger of *bʰ-and *dʰ-as *f-, Footnote 11 the gerundive in *-nd-, the ipf. subj. *-sē-, the ipf. *-βā-(the more probative morphological features are unattested in the ...
2019 •. Bartomeu Obrador-Cursach. The aim of this paper is to gather together certain relevant features of Phrygian based on our current knowledge of the language in order to determine its dialectal position inside the Indo-European family.
Phrygian provides in several respects the missing link between Greek and Armenian.
