Re: Uralic Continuity Theory ; Paleo-Germanic lexical borrowings in

I understood Arnaud as arguing that hartia came from
the same root as *s-kul-t-er. Would that work?

Right
It's what I mean.

I'm intrigued by English hop (the plant). Where is it
from? Was there a deformation of *humala > **hupala?
Rick
==============
The plant is from Central Asia
and became added to beer
only at the end of the Middle Ages.
The root is like *kup?-
Germanic *kup? > *hupp-
This word was suffixed by -mo-
Hence kup?-mo > *kumo-
in Uralic and Altaic languages.

There is no *m > p
but p?+m > m
