How do I start connecting and associating?
Shall I connect *a-b-a with *x-i-x-o rather that *s-a-b-a?
Of course I'll start connecting those I found having near
resemblances. Like when the Easterners connected 'death'
and 'four'. That is regardless of whether there are motives or no
motives for those connections. Say genetic or geographical nearness,
trade, invasion, migration etc.... The view is aerial or eery if you
may qualify as such.
Because who knows everything can be connected (those near
resemblances) through onomatopaeia or because of the innate
functions or qualities of the vocal chords, or results of same
environments, same experiences etc. etc.. ( And perhaps those will
argue against what I seem to be having faith with).
And therefore through those we may see that associations of near-
resemblances may argue against proposed relationships.
This is then for me a continuing inquisition (inquiry) not really or
merely because some crackpot is trying to highlite something if
there are probably things to hi-lite. (Maybe these are pure talk
which maybe some do not like).
But of course I am now on that stage where I took on some rather
aberrant ideas. Or I think 'advanced ones' which I am considering.
I think it is time to hi-lite those ideas. Before the world ends in
2012 (wink).

Folks, I highly recommend for you to read a not so new book of
Stephen Oppenheimer about the drowned Continent of Southeast Asia,
Eden in the East (1998). It highlights dispersion of people from the
sinking Sundaland, how they become seafarers and how they affect
worldwide cultures.
Reviews may be found at....

I don't know but I may also be doing some disservice fo Mr.
Oppenheimer by plugging his book. But I like it anyway because I
think it is important on these things that were talked about.
This is for those which have not read it yet.
Some people here may already known and read it. But as I said there
are complications in a person's personality. So it is quite
reasonable/explainable that it is just too hard to accept that in
the most primitive of times Europe and in varying degree (the MIddle
East) is not the ultimate center of a three-layered or seven-layered
world.
