| Hi Torsten, do you by any chance have any of Wolfgang Schmid's papers to upload? I must confess that I don't take Kuhn's ideas very seriously since Francisco Villar has demonstrated quite well that the Alteuropäisch substrate (which in his view is clearly IE) extends right down to the South of Spain and appears to predate Basque in the Basque country (i.e. Spanish side of the Pyrenees). I also find that the fact that David Anthony doesn't even mention hydronymy in his book is a major flaw (not the only one by any means). Jonathan. |
