I usually find scattered proto-Greek word reconstructions, but I never came across literature that focus on the reconstruction of that language. Do you know of any?

  • What exactly do you mean by "focus on the reconstruction of Proto-Greek?" What do you expect to find?

  • @AlexB. Specifically, Brill has released in the past various titles dealing with reconstructions of Proto-Albanian, Proto-Italic, Proto-Turkic, Proto-Anatolian etc. While their main purpose is not necessarely the reconstruction, it is included. So it doesn't need to be a book dedicated to proto-Greek, but some kind of source including reconstructions of the basic vocabulary.
