Arnaud, you are making the same error that Bomhard does.
Patrick
=========
the same error ?
=> that is to say ?
Arnaud
=========
There is no need to explain the PIE and PAA developments with *t?-.
PAtrick
=============
What is a *development* ?
I don't really find this word palatable.
And I think any *increment* or
*affix* needs to be explained
or at least described.
Arnaud
=========
For Nostratic, their parent, no problem.
PAtrick
========
I don't really know
what this *grab-all* nostratic thing means.
I don't like jumping thru windows
with no idea where the ground is.
Arnaud
============
Nostratic *t? becomes PIE *d and PAA *t; I have 24 examples of this in my
presently evolving essay.
PAtrick
======
I will probably never accept
Pie *d = PAA *t
This is the acme
of phonological
impossibility.
Arnaud
========
If you think the Proto-Language is bogus, fine. But I think, for your own
intellectual honesty, you need to investigate why this correlation seems to
be possible.
Patrick
=========
I don't really understand this statement.
*your* proto-thing is *according to me*
bogus. Right. So what ?
You seem to imply I am not
*intellectual honest*
I will just underline that
your remark applies to you
thru an obvious *mirror* effet.
