***GK: THIS GIUSEPPE PASSARIN IS THE SAME GIUSEPPE
PASSARINO WHO WAS CO-AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLES CITED BY
STEVE BELOW. DATES WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE. THE UPLOADED

*****GK: TRY TO FIND THE DATE STEVE. THIS ARTICLE IS
NOT CITED BY PASSARINO ET AL. IN THE 2001 STUDY,
THOUGH OTHER WORKS BY PASSARINO ARE. ****

*****GK: THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THE
CONCLUSION OF PASSARINO OR SANTACHIARA-BENERECETTI,
WHO COLLABORATED IN BOTH ARTICLES. PROBABLY BECAUSE
THEY WERE AWARE THAT MANY HUNGARIANS BECAME
"URALIC-SPEAKERS" RELATIVELY LATE (19th c.)******
