Hideeho, folks.
It's gLeNny gEe here...
Well, let's see. Perhaps I'll be the one to send the first message
:) First topic might be on how annoying Bomhard's ablaut scheme for
Nostratic is and how it should be abolished for lack of evidence.
Second, we might talk about reducing the overabundant sibilant
inventory and chucking out some of the fricatives and affricates.
Let's face it folks, the Nostratic phonological system as it often
stands is overly extravagant, to say the least.
Now, hopefully what I've just said has brought enough of the new
members of this new List to sufficient ire as to bring about
copious amounts of debate for the next two years. Afterall, I
know how much the holy trinity (I-S, Dog and Bom) is so greatly
revered in Nostratic linguistics so I do expect much backlash
for my pagan views :)
