Re: Finnish KASKA

The list of words I presented: appi, jousi, kalki, koski and kusi are
not reconstructions but real words in a real language. They also
constitute solid counter evidence to your 'fallen-out-of-the-sky'
umlaut hypothesis. Where did it come from?

===================
I'm afraid you are unaware
that Finnish is *not* Uralic
and that Finnish has added a lot of -i-
to words that never had -i-
in Proto-Western-Uralic.
If you had cared to read my previous mails,
I stated the structure CvC
simplifies as Cv in Permic
Compare *ni with Finnish nuoli.

Word skin :
Reference word : PIE kuHti
kuHt-i > Moksha ked'
kuHt > kuor > Finnish kuori.
The -i- is a late addition in Finnish
and in Mordvin it must be early.

It's not fallen from the sky.
Look at the Uralic data.
