Here are the alleged Breton - Slovenian correspondent words (pp.
339-343, translated

It is of course interesting which of the words are only Breton and
Slovenian and which are generally Celtic and Slavic, respectively.
Comments are appreciated.

This exercice also shows the vanity of the statistical argument used by some
people.
Clearly, it's __not__ difficult to find a huge number of look-alike words.
It just proves nothing.

I suppose it would not be possible to create clean correspondances with this
breton-slovenian list.
