I will address Mr Kelkar’s posting later in the week, when another unrelated essay is completed.

I did wonder whether we should treat Kazanas's list
(<http://www.omilosmeleton.gr/english/documents/SPIE.pdf>) as being
posted.  There are a few questions towards the end which might take
more than a few minutes to answer.  I wonder what level of skill and
effort our academic linguists would rate answering (rebutting?) it as
a task for a student.  There do indeed seem to be some open-ended
questions - the one on word formation in particular.  Certainly Jens's
data-gathering work for the o-infix would be relevant to that
question!  However, perhaps the task there is to give as good an
account of Classical Greek as Panini did for Classical (not Vedic)
Sanskrit.
