My apologies to some Cybalist members who are all too familiar with
this stuff.

"I (Alan Gaylord) also note an essay I am sending off for by Frans
van Coetsem; here is the full citation: "Grimm's Law: A Reappraisal of
Grimm's
Formulation from a Present-Day Perspective" in Antonsen, Elmer H. (ed.)
Marchand, James W. (ed.) Zgusta, Ladislav (ed.). The Grimm Brothers
and the
Germanic Past. Amsterdam: Benjamins, 1990; pp. 43-59. Series:

Tocharians/Gutians

"Not long ago, the British scholar W. N. Henning suggested that the
Tocharians be identified with the Gutians, who are mentioned in
Babylonian cuneiform inscriptions (in Akkadian, a Semitic language)
dating from the end of the third millennium B.C., when King Sargon was
building the first great Mesopotamian Empire. If Henning's views are
correct, the Tocharians would be the first Indo-Europeans to appear in
the recorded history of the ancient Near East. Lexical affinities of
Tocharian with Italo-Celtic give evidence that the speakers of the two
language families had associated in the Indo-European homeland before
the Tocharians began their migration eastward."
