Pre-Basque phonology (PS)

[Rick Mc Callister]

Superficially, at least, those four words look possibly IE

altz -- aliso, etc.
beltz -- ?related to root of blue, black, blank
bultz -- ?related to root of Spanish empujar, impulso
glitz -- ?related to Latin clave

the endings need BIG explanation, though
