*****GK: As to 5.1. To say that Mycaenean Greek
innovations and/or lack of innovations "make the
construction of a 'proto-Greek' language logically
impossible" is clearly erroneous, at least on the
evidence of the Garrett quotes. == As for 9.7, I
believe the Kazanas claim about Vedic has already been
dealt with a number of times on this list. Anyone may
cast "doubts" about anything. I can say that I doubt
M. Kelkar exists. There is a difference between such
doubts and reasonable doubts.(:=)))*****
