******GK: This is extremely interesting information.
Let me ask a follow up question. In one of your
previous messages you had listed a number of "dialect
bunches" in the Old Rus' complex. 2.2 was that of the
<Polany=Siverjany=Sloveny> Would it be this bunch that
is referred to above when you speak of "obvious
Slovene features", or something distinctly "Slovene"?
And if the latter what does Zalizniak say about the
characteristics and affinities of "Slovene"? (just
roughly and in general so that you don't need to waste
time looking it up)*****
