Dear Tavi,

Is Gianfrance Forni's paper on Basque and Indo-European still available in the Files section of the Bardulia Yahoo!Group, as Forni himself announced in this 2009 post of his to that forum (followed by a discussion with you, which is threaded below the same post):

http://es.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bardulia/message/7968

If it is still available there, could you kindly save a pdf copy of it on your pc and then upload it in cybalist's Files section? (Only members have access to Bardulia's Files section):

Thanks in advance, and best regards.

Francesco
