Another Indo-Europeanist arguing for Etruscan as an Anatolian
language is Francisco Adrados of the Spanish Academy:

Adrados, Francisco R., "Etruscan as an IE Anatolian (but not
Hittite) Language," Journal of Indo-European Studies 17
(Proceedings of the Second Conference on the Transformation of
European and Anatolian Culture 4500-2500 B.C. (Part I)
September 15-19, 1989, Dublin, Ireland), (1989) 363-383.

Adrados, Francisco R., "More on Etruscan as an IE-Anatolian
Language," Historische Sprachforschung 107/1 (1994)
54-76.

Has anybody read these?
