Language is generally insuffiently expressive compared to a suitably
powerful symbolic language (and bla-bla). I meant that the language
you intended would have been LBK in the outside world, not in your
mind (and said language might have left traces in Balkan languages,
whichever they were). I know you have reserved LBK as the PIE ur-
culture.
