Speaking of which, I must voice my discontent over the uneven distribution
of good publishers... :-) My copy of G&I does not have such a glossary

And, off topic rant, has anyone heard of a second reinterpretation, designed
to undermine the drawback of the GT itself. I have a book by Starostin who
says there's a possibility of the three series being unvoiced, unvoiced
geminates and voiced. This is also typological, and has the virtue of the
possibility of voicing of initial geminates (suchn things happen, while
voicing of glottalized initials does not).

Anyone?
