> Grimm's Law, the `Germanic Consonant Shift," has evaporated.
I seldom bother reading MKelkar, but happened to read this.
At one level, Grimm's Law is simply a factual description of the
relationships between certain Germanic sounds, and other sounds in other PIE
languages. That relationship cannot "evaporate". I suspect, then, that
what is meant is that a particular theory about the origin of those
realtionships has evaporated, and the author cannot think of any other to
replace it. And MKelkar has taken this as proof for his ideology.
It all reminds me not to bother reading MKelkar.
