Miguel, what is the matter with you? I don't need to invent anythig. I
searched for data in this time and I showed what I could find asking if
these data are wrong. That should be one.
The next one is I did not took into consideration in Avestan words which
derives from kWe as "*kWek" > "kas"; "*kWe" > "sa" ; "*kWel" > "selem".
I just took the words which have been rendered as "*k^we-" there where I
found them. If these roots are not given corectly, I agree, I should
have had to verify them in a second source before posting it, thing
which I didn't and you can accuse me for it.
The next one is that I did not contradicted you, I just showed some data
which you mean they are wrong.If you see it as contradiction, the let it
be your way to interprete this.
The next one is that with this kind of answers one goes away from the
discussion but it let the discussion become again a personaly polemic
which I don't intend to take part of it.
The next one is that I don't care if the rom. "sfânt" is a loan from
Slavic or not. I care about the semantic shift from a religious therm
which meant just _holy_ in something like "sunset" which is unexplanable
via Slavic "holy".
The last one is that I have no pleasure to answer in the same manner to
all the insinuations you make as usual falling in your old habbit of
attacking the person. If I will intend to do it, it won't be directed to
you but - as in our part of Romance usualy is, of course because of the
Slavic influence, isn't it? - my words will be automaticaly directed to
the one who gives birth to such people and usualy these women are not
guilty for the acts of their offsprings. I hope I won't reach that
point.
