PIOTR: I'll be interested in that. What do you mean by *h1ek^wo-
having resulted from irregular sounch changes? The cognate reflexes
(with the exception of Greek hippos, which calls for special
treatment) have nothing irregular about them. The number and
distribution of the branches that show *h1ek^wo- indicate at least
non-Anatolian IE origin of the word. The fact that it is possibly of
adjectival origin ("the swift one") does not undermine the
implications of this solid agreement. The question remains whether
wild and domesticated horses were nomenclaturally distinguished -- I
don't think they were.

The word for 'quickly' in Santali is:

hakopako = quickly; nitoke hakopakoeda = now he is exerting himself;
hakopakoe tar.ameda = he walks quickly (Santali.lex.)

I will post further on Edwin Bryan's Chapter 5 which deals with the
limitations on IE linguistics and studies of substrata.
