Furnée’s book met with fierce criticism and was largely neglected. In my view, this was a major mistake in Greek scholarship. ... His treatment is very careful, and there are hardly any obvious mistakes. Furnée worked on it for twenty years, and even now it is the only handbook on the subject. ... Furnée went astray in two respects. First, he considered almost all variation to be of an expressive character, which is certainly wrong: it is evident that the variation found is due to the adaptation of words (or phonemes) of a foreign language to Greek. ... Secondly, Furnée was sometimes overzealous in his search for inner-Greek correspondences. ... Not every alternation necessarily points to Pre-Greek origin. The author can hardly be blamed for his enthusiasm. He was exploring new ground.
