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.
