Mark aka Horticultural Mars of the Abandoned Farm,
I liked your enclosed area as you traipsed through the IE language
family. QUESTION: How is the sense of this "enclosure" represented in
the non-PIE languages?
Wish I had a name that is as related as is yours. Waller is a salt
seller and Gerry (Gerald) is mighty with a sword. Guess I never had a
farm to abandon for the city.

Correction, Gerry. It was a spear, and not a sword.

Gerry here:
Thanks Piotr. Yes, it is a spear. Developed a few millenia before the
sword. Thanks for more history. And thanks for adding the wilderness to
the city. QUESTION, for Piotr or anyone: Are there archaeological
instances when agriculture and the city existed as one?
Gerry
