Re: [tied] Re: PIE's closest relatives

I'm not trying to propose any theory. Just pointing similar words (unless it was a mere coincidence, a possibily that cant be ignored) that seem to be a common source. I'd like to know what the common source, but I dont know.

Joao: >How about Sumerian gu "cow,bovine" and *gWo:u- ? Why do I feel like this forum has been pushed back 150 years? What did I just say -- Indirect contact at best. If you all want to place Sumerian and IE side-by-side, have fun doing so but that game has been played for decades now without success. Besides Sumerian, what language do you propose as the source of this loanword that may not even be a loanword? = gLeN _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.msn.com%2f%3fpage%3dmisc%2fspecialoffers%26pgmarket%3den-ca
