    • 2025, Cid Swanenvleugel, The Pre-Roman Elements of the Sardinian Lexicon, page 215:
      It should moreover be noted that there are no clear cases in which an original voiceless stop is first voiced intervocalically and then acquires a preceding nasal, as would have to be assumed to explain Srd. tsing- < *tseng- from It. ceca.
