Reconstructed PIE vs. theoretical PIE (was: loading)

 

>

Please notice I was referring to Ancient Greek and Proto-Germanic, not the entity called "PIE", which in my opinion is a *fiction*, albeit a convenient one.

I should have perceived that. I agree with you that *reconstructed* PIE is a little "fictional," despite that PIE as defined as the proto-language Hittite, Latin, Sanskrit, Greek, &c come from, is a well-founded theory.
