Umm, Joseph. Glen is slightly mad, i.e., he's into Nostratic and
only incidentally Indo-European. He likes
green-gilled-Greenbergism/Bomhard-blowharding/wry-Ryan-rants, etc.,
and not the usual conservative methodology that actually lets us prove
that PIE was a real language spoken by a real people in a real place
at a real time.
