Let's all sit back and enjoy this textbook example 🥹
Sure, Pre-Indo-European substrates is fun and all, but what about Breton historical phonology? The internet is hungry for hot takes about the phonetics of <z> and <ff>, resonant length contrasts after unstressed vowels and morphophonemic spellings.
I am happy to say that The Common Thread, a festschrift in the honour of prof. Eva Andersson Strand is online and open-access. And it includes a small paper on the origins of wool by myself, Laura Viñas Caron, Mikkel Nørtoft, Peder Flemestad and Christina Margariti.
