Alexander, there is no proof for Thracian as being a Satem language
beside some wild guesses. There is absolutely nothing where we know
about the meaning of a certain Thracian word for sure and we can connect
it with a IE root for showing: look , Thracian was a Satem language.
All the people who sustained Thracian should have been a satem language
could not deliver the needed proof which shows that. Just assumptions .
Since you and George speak more about archeological aspect of the issue,
I would like to ask which are the connections(if any) of the Noua
Culture and Villa Nova Culture. Any connection at all?
