some time ago I posted here a list of Latin/Romanian/Lithuanian
words. At that time I asid I did not verified by myself the
Lithuanian counterparts. It is time to do now for myself. There was
no comment on this list, neither positive not negative.
A such list with identical forms should be a very big question for
everyone who reduces everything to Latin. I will repost it after I
verify by myself. I strongly hope I find in the library a Lithuanian
Etymological Dictionary. After this we have plenty of time to speak.
What I should do if I will be in the skin of Miguel, I will try to
derive the conjugations stems in Rom. directly from PIE, bypassing
Latin. It should be just my curiosity as linguist to see what I get,
nothing else.
