****GK: As a corollary, and while we're still on the
Chinese aspect of the problem, there is a small point
made quite peripherally in the Mallory/Mair "mummy
book"(:=)), p. 333 (Appendix 1 "On the Tocharian
problems"): the Chinese equivalent of Greek 'Tokharoi'
, Latin 'Tochari', Sanskrit 'Tukha:ra', is allegedly
'TUHUOLO'. Unfortunately M/M give no specific time
frame for this.****
