Basque and Kartvelian languages, among infraglottal and supraglottal
consonants were established for the first time, e. g.:
Kartvelian : Basque
*Z : c/s
*c : c/s
*w : C/S
Unforturnately, the society of that time was not ready to evaluate the
work.
Afterwards Prof. M. Kurdiani exacted, that for the whistling of sibilant
affricates of the Kartvelian languages the Basque phonemes-correspondences
established by Rene Lafon and systemized by us were natural and regular for
hushing one (for sibilant affricates as well as spirant):
Kartvelian : Basque
*Z // *J*
: c/s
*c // *C * : c/s
*w // *y * : C/S
These examples of correspondences, by which the relation of the
Kartvelian and Basque languages is confirmed through maintaining the
historical-comparative method, gave us bases to reconstruct a sibilants, system
and to assume one "whistling" series of sibilants of this common Basque-
Kartvelian radical language, which we call Proto-Kartvelian.
This one type of sibilant affricates and spirants is qualified by us as
whistling, which does not oppose to so called demands of universals and
typological parallels are found with a reconstructed system of the Indo-
European radical language (Gamkrelidze, Ivanov 1984, I).
