Re: Burushaski -- bibliography

Has anyone made a list of the BMAC vocabulary and
systematically compared it to Burushaski and/or
Caucasian?

==========

I have been assembling a
comparative vocabulary of
Elamite and Dravidian.

Which suggests that
Elamite and Harrapan may have
undergone a typical change :
Pharyngal H1 > sh
But dravidian does not display
this palatalisation.

Data :

1. *doH "man"

Huri doH "servant"
Cf. Greek doulos < doHelos
Elamite ta-sshu "man"
Pre-Indic "dâsa-" < *dosa

This word is a clear proof
the natives of India are not IE.

2. *?aH "buffle"

Egyptian ?_H
Coptic yôH
Elamite ash "cattle herd"

3. *&_H- "to breathe, nose"

Elamite shi-um-me "his nose"
IE H2nH1-m "wind"
Dravidian *a:v "breathe"

4. *H_y "to come, to go"

i.e H1ey
Elamite shi-in-nu "coming"
Dravidian *va: "to come"

To be continued
