preglottalized

Now, while Glottalic Theory explains that PIE's purported ejectives had mostly eroded into implosives or "preglottalized" phonemes in almost all dialects without explaining why exactly voiced *d was the overwhelmingly typical end result, my Hybrid Theory position has been that these stops were already voiced in PIE.

Ejectives are surely more common than the "preglottalized" phonemes which I can only assume is a bizarre term for an "implosive".

Both the change of word-initial ejective to preglottalized voiced stop and the ad hoc reduction of *ˀd to *ʔ here, further compounded by his claim that this laryngeal then explains -e- in Greek hekaton '100'3, are a series of exotic and contrived fabrications.

In other words, if one is going to blame Winter's Law lengthening on preglottalization (as Kortlandt does), then one is either implying that the preglottalized phoneme in question was already weakened (eg. via laryngealization), or that one is plain wrong.

I believe there is a way to reinterpret Glottalic Theory with minimal fuss, optimal naturalness and a possible solution to Winter's Law without preglottalized phones.

That being said, there are no English phonemes that can be said to be preglottalized because this is a phonetic feature, not phonemic.
