For my part, I won't discuss any more with him any "arya"-related
topic (nor, probably, any other sort of topic), especially after he
showed he is unable to point to any lexical material whatsoever
allowing for the reconstruction of a root **HHar- (or whatever its
form be devised), without even clarifying which language family or
macrofamily the same would have belonged in (he cited some Sumerian
root, for example... which has no relation to PIE!). Not to speak of
the meaning 'white/pale' (referred to people's complexion) he
attributes to his fancied and cherished root!.
This is revealing of a mindset, of an ideology, as was seen in all
his subsequent posts in this thread.
It's also funny to figure out those Neolithic folks so proud of
their "white skin", and so contemptous of their "dark-skinned"
neighbours, that they chose a term meaning 'the White Ones' as their
own self-designation!
This "Nordic White Aryan" stuff is better suited for the Stormfront
website, not for the cybalist...
