Here's a comment by George Knysh, that I got as e-mail, with
my reply and then his, explaining the odd path to Cybalist:
Hello Dan,
I've taken a break from Cybalist due to other pressing matters, but
I still read the postings a couple of times a week. In connection
with your item on "dog" I have a rather dilettantic question (which
might be put to Piotr and other experts). The word for "dog" in some
(at least) Slavic languages is PES. Now if this is a
Satemizedversion of PEK- (which in PEI and later in
daughterlanguages stands for "farm animal") could we draw
someconclusion about the "dog" being at one
point in time the "animal par excellence" for PIE-ans (with this
specific meaning only (?) surviving in Slavic? How far back would
did take us and what other implications might we come up with as to
very early PIE economies?

Please do. I'll be back early in the new year, after
I've completed certain current obligations. George
