Piotr, we don't need to rediscuse to what we discussed once. In the
archives one cannot find anything new. That is the bad thing. There
is no proof. Just assumtions. For the things as "esbenus" one
has against it "centus" so, without trying to re-open it, one has to put
the point on the "i"("i"= centum or satem) just when one has that proof.
I am not aware about this proof and you are too not aware of it.
Just as you say, "things points in that directions" and that _some_
evidece is not any evidence but just wished/forced relationship.
If I am wrong, let it be my sin. I guess tough I call the things on
their name saying none could deliver thr proof.
