<<Steve, I've already explained my reasons both in terms of general logical
reasons against an Anatolian pre-IE, as well as linguistic ones. You offer
nothing on your end and use your ignorance to propose anything you like.>>

Ignorance is not a bad thing to admit. Your problem is that you are as
ignorant as I am about what went on in Anatolia in 7500BC, but you don't seem
to know it.

<<What you believe is not the general consensus.>>

Glen, the flat earth was once consensus. Some people still are
flat-earthers. I bet you are one of those hold-outs.

<<Hattic is viewed as more autochthonous than the Anatolian languages.>>

Okay, let's accept that for the time being. Remember what else you said --
Hattic is attested nowhere else in the world. So that means Hattic could
have been in Anatolia for a very, very long time - 10,000 years? Lots of
time for Pre-IE to get there by 7500BC.

<<Good luck in your research.>>

Same here.
