To be clear, I made many minor assumptions in my paper which could be wrong, without significantly affecting my conclusion. Perhaps the ancient name for Đakovo should really be reconstructed as *Certissa rather than the epigraphically attested Certissia, and the ancient name for Omiš was indeed Almissa rather than *Almissia (and the change from 's' to 'š' is... irregular, I guess), in which case there is no basis for reconstructing the Illyrian suffix -issia, so that the ancient name for Karašica could really be something like *Kurrurrussia rather than *Kurrurrissia. Perhaps there is an Indo-European root like *ker (rather than *kjer) from which a river name could plausibly be derived, in which case my claim that Illyrian was a centum language is baseless. But those things do not affect the main conclusion of my paper.
