MrCaws:
There were several discussions on these points, on this list, dealing with
the Lemnian link linguistically, as well as (earlier discussion) Aegean
nautical possibilities for the Etruscan arrival in Italy, the classical
authors on the issue..and many related topics. In addition to the responses
you may get now, I would suggest a review of the list archives, searching:
Etruscan
Tyrrhenian
Lemnos/Lemnian
Anatolia/Anatolian
Pelasgia/Pelasgian
Macro-Pelasgia.
You will come up with some varied views. In the mean time, I would like to
explore your reference to "Balkan Pelasgic languages"..What do you mean
exactly?
