It shouldn't. It specifically involves the Hattic language. It
has nothing to do with IE, AfroAsiatic or the lost language of
Mu. The sound [f] couldn't be written in the Hattic cuneiform,
a script which wasn't even designed for the Hattic language. It
doesn't mean that Hattic people walked around randomly pronouncing
words with [p] or with [w].

>This is known in linguistics as the spittoon problem.

What kind of "linguistics"? Science-fiction linguistics?

>WRT *bh:p-l:r-, I'm fortunate in that M�ller, who is trying to

What, M�ller's still alive?? Is he living in your basement beside
Elvis? M�ller is as relevant to Nostratic linguistics as
Richard Simmons is to the gay community.
