[tied] Re: Satem shift

I'd appreciate concrete examples (rather than multiply interpretable
consonantal skeletons). The illusion will dissolve if you look at
full reconstructions or real words in real languages. If your *k-l- :
*s-l- is supposed to mean that *kailo- is related to *solwo-, I can
only reply that you can safely forget this particular correspondence
for reasons too obvious to merit discussion.
