Re: Renfrew's theory renamed as Vasco-Caucasian

Mc Callister --the Gaelic form is mac Àlasdair. BTW,
it's Dr., not Mr. But I insist that you call me Rick,

Trask did say what I said he did and Torsten provided
proof. I remember clearly what Aikio said a few years
back. He most definitely spoke about 25% of Saami
being substrate, and my understanding was that he said
the Saami picked up Uralic from outsiders. Contact him
and ask him to contribute. I remember him as one of
the brightest people on the lists he was on. If I
remembered wrongly, I have no problem with
apologizing.
