Reconstruction notes

  • Matasović wrongly assigns Brittonic derivatives of *uɸoreteti (“to help”) to this word.[1] This error is not corrected in his corrigenda.
  • The correct Brittonic cognates are listed by Schrijver (1996);[2] Matasović also cites Schrijver, making the wrong assignment of cognates baffling.
