< Θεσσαλός, Θετταλός, Φετταλός, Πετθαλός, The sound change of this name is often used to demonstrate the incompatibility of Macedonian phonology with a proposed "Thraco-Phrygian" hypothesis. This cannot be an outcome of a non-Greek de-aspiration of PIE *bʰ, *dʰ, *gʰ, but is rather an internal sound shift. For more info see Dosuna (2012), Hatzopoulos (2007a:172). |
