Milena Anfosso's 2020 examination of Bryges and Phryges argues against explaining every variant with a single simple sound change. She proposes a reconstructed Bʰrug- group for some forms and a possible Wreg/k- group for others, including a potential Phrygian endonym vrekes.

Frisians are not related to Phrugians.
Frisians (Frisii): The endonym/exonym for the Frisians stems from a Proto-Germanic root *frisaz interpreted as meaning "curly-haired" or referencing coastal meadows/estuaries.
Phrygians (Φρύγες): Anatolians known in the Bromze age as the Bryges (Βρύγες).
They don’t even sound similar and are ethnically different and speak completely different languages.
Do you not know that Phyrgia in Greek is pronounced Froo-Gia. Not Frigia.
You are just a weird obsessed tweaker who I don’t even spend a second reading, so take this as a rare exception.

Mittelhochdeutsche Randnotiz eines Liebesliedes:

Heil Freya ᚠ
In 2024, excavators at the Phrygian Midas Fortress at Yazılıkaya reported seventh-century BCE ovens and hearths immediately associated with a rock-cut sanctuary. They interpreted them as facilities for preparing sacrificial meat and bread. Nearby were carved rock basins and a representation of Matar, the Phrygian Mother Goddess.
Meanwhile, northern Europe has extensive Bronze Age and Early Iron Age cooking-stone pits, including clusters in Denmark and northern Germany associated with burial landscapes. Researchers consider cooking, feasting, and ritual among their possible functions.

In the Argonautica, Book 2, Apollonius gives us a remarkable sequence: the Argonauts encounter Amycus, a Bithynian son of Poseidon, then travel into Thrace, where the sons of Boreas help Phineus. Later, they encounter the birds of Ares. Poseidon, Boreas, and Ares are therefore all present in one continuous maritime narrative through this geographical corridor.
Bithynia's kings invited Galatian groups into Anatolia around 278–277 BCE, helping establish the Celtic presence in former Phrygian territor

Even Strabo's description of inland Celaenae and Apameia brings together a major trading center, river sources, the Marsyas–Apollo myth, geothermal activity, and Poseidon's local genealogy.

Oh shit, just fucking dunked on your ass.
You guys remember this? He didn't want to believe me about Gordion, called me obsessed and blocked me.
Fine. Watch this.
Now the prediction is specific: an eighth-century BCE elite burial somewhere along the Balkan corridor should preserve a recognizable combination of materials, craftsmanship, and funerary practices comparable to Gordion.
The strongest archaeological lead in the southern Balkans is the early Iron Age tumulus cemetery at Vergina (ancient Aigai). The second is the elite female burial tradition farther north along the Axios/Vardar corridor.
What makes them interesting isn't just that people were building burial mounds. It's the combination of family burial groups, female prestige objects, bronze wealth, and northern Balkan cultural connections during the eighth century BCE. (wink wink)

Check out all the Neptune altars.
Hey @mikecarr000, you've read Beowulf right?
Remind you of anything?

Heracles repeatedly encounters the sons of Poseidon while moving through territories that Greek and Roman authors associate with the western Mediterranean, Celtic Europe, and Thrace.
HINT HINT HINT.

And there's very few "Gods" that give you clues that they're capable of both River and Sea maritime passage.
And, one of them is Poseidon.
So, if you don't factor that shit in, your model is automatically insanely inaccurate.
The transmission of Macedonian-derived coin types through Celtic communities, the emergence of regional monetary systems along the Middle and Lower Rhine, the movement of Galatian warriors into Anatolia, and the later presence of Pannonian auxiliaries at Gordion provide independent evidence of recurring military and economic connectivity across the European–Anatolian world.
These connections did not constitute an uninterrupted political or ethnic organization. Instead, successive institutions exploited overlapping geographical routes and strategic nodes. Military service, valuable-metal exchange, specialized production, and the circulation of political and religious symbols offered mechanisms through which distant communities could influence one another.
The Lower Rhine should therefore be studied not as an isolated frontier of northern Europe, but as an interface participating, at different periods and with different degrees of intensity, in the wider continental systems connecting the Atlantic, the Danube, the Balkans, and Anatolia.
You have to think of it like a distributed system along the corridor.
That's what it is.
There were no country lines in Europe it didn't work that way.

I'm also really good at it, while leading.
I'm fully aware of what my perception allows me to track in my peripheral vision.
I can switch from focal eye tracking to color and movement and sound.
My ears can help me track your position while I'm not seeing you.
I can also use sound to get behind you.
Or lead you into a trap because I've confused you into chasing me.
I'm the Hunter, not you.
