It looks very interesting, but I had a few comments. Hope you don't mind :) First, I really the name Iermansc, but it seems that the outcome of Germanice would be *Iermanz. Perhaps Iermansc is derived instead from *Germaniscu/*Germanescu? Also, you said that c and g became palatalized before a, but they become /x/ and /G/. I don't think those would come from palatalization.
