Piotr writes (with great wit):

"For Diwos sake, what
do you mean by speaking like that? Did you hear him, lads? He said
[k_W_etwores], like a bloody Proto-Greek. [kWetwores], would you
believe it? He's a refayned person. He thinks he's smarter than us
Aryas."

This is the start of a good IE tale, Piotr, even a novel.
Pre-proto-Indo-Iranians dissing the speech of pre-proto-Greeks, if
spoken correctly, makes for an interesting lesson in philology, tho'
only those who grok Sanskrit, Avestan and Homer would get it.
