Re: [tied] Primordial Man, Ymir, *Yemos, PIE cosmogony

I personally think Puhvel's linking of Remus to *Yemos (original *Iemus,
corrupted by folk-association to Romulus) is very plausible. But I have
doubts if the "Primordial Man" was killed by the "Man", and cannot see this
pair as twins. In fact Germanic Tuisto is linked to Mannus, but I can´t see
them as brothers. Romulus/Remus was influenced also by the IE Celestial
Twins.
