Wien: Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1980. — x, 364 p. — (Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften: Philosophisch-Historische Klasse, Sitzungsberichte, 377 Band. Veröffentlichungen der Kommission für Linguistik und Kommunikationsforschung, Heft 8). — ISBN: 9783700103752.Part I concerns the treatment of initial laryngeal before *i or *u followed by consonant: Peters finds that prothetic vowels did not develop before *i but did before *u. In Part II with its appendices P. investigates the triple outcome of a *-CRiH2 in Greek, as exemplified by 1. πότνια, -τρια, 2. ἄρουρα and 3. -αινα /-αιρα. "This wide-ranging and thought-provoking book [...] must rank as an important addition to the literature on the Greek evidence for the laryngeal theory as well as on Greek phonology in general" (CR 33 (1983) 343)
