Re: Finnish KASKI

It may be of interest to a few that this word is unusual in that the
'laryngeals' normally appear in Egyptian as <j> or <h> but in this one word,
it seems to appear as <x> (I.e. hook-h): <xnt(y)>.

You're implying that Jouppe is a German nationalist and therefore
you're right? It's true in Estonian too. It's true in PIE too, for
that matter, the *xant- root is a noun in Hittite and a
pre-/postposition/preverb in a case form elsewhere in IE.
