Re: Brugmann's Law

Somewhere on the web, there is or was a list of K-R
words having to do with insects, vermin, and
amphibians that includes words from IE, AA,
Niger-Kordofanian et al. See cancer, crab, scorpion,
crevette, etc.
It seems to be one of those ubiquitous combinations
like K-L for "wheel, circle" and B-R for "boil", B-L
for "ball, round"
