        There is also Wright's work on the subject, though being
pre-laryngeal it might be considered little more than a historical
curiosity.   Re-inventing Saussure's wheel from what was known or thought of
PIE at that time might prove an interesting "excercise for the reader."
        And yes, Palmer is a little "introductory", but my impression from
having used his work in combination with Rix, Lejeune, and Sihler is that he
is about 80% of the way toward these.
