What's wrong with cass < *kwösto- (Stokes – Bezzenberger 1894:
57): Lat. qua:lus < *kwös-lo-s (alternative - or, better,
complementary - etymology to *kwat-slo-s, de Vaan 2008: 504), see
Pokorny 1959: 635, Schrijver 1991: 462, Mallory - Adams 1997: 52?
Ah, I notice that Ranko (2009, six years after my publication) has
finally got back his role of Authority, when it's useful to criticize
me (nothing similar in previous cases, when he was invoked by me...).
Anyway, once again the same error: you deny an otherwise regular
solution just because there's another one, which better fits your
theory (although in this case your theory is limited to your blind
hatred against me)

Bhrihskwobhloukstroy:
How many negative peer reviews have you received?
Will you ever be able to treat other people and yourself with one
and the same criterion?
