No Proto-Celtic?

"Much more extensive" seems to me an overstatement.  French adjectives will
normally indicate gender and number, while German adjectives may do neither
if the article is present. For example:
   Ich gebe es dem kleinen Mann   (masc)
   Ich gebe es der kleinen Frau       (fem)
   Ich gebe es dem kleinen Kind     (neuter)
   Ich gebe es den kleinen Kinder   (plural)
and:
   des kleinen Mannes (genitive)
   dem kleinen Mann (dative
   den kleinen Mann (accusative)
   die kleinen Maenner (plural, nominative & accusative)
   der kleinen Maenner (plural genitive)
etc.
If the article is not present, the adjective carries the morphological
burden of indicating gender, case and number, but even so, to claim much
more extensive morphological agreement is pushing it a bit, especially since
most nouns have very little, or no, morphological indication of case.
