I read the same thing from the PowerPoint presentation from the nostratic group files, or was it cybalist.  His proposal pretty much did the same thing with all the languages in question.
 
Or was that you?

Subject: [nostratic] Questions about Eskimo-Aleut and Chukchi-Kamchatkan

Danny Wier:
>Starostin has some reconstructed Chukchi-Kamchatkan roots on his >Tower of
>Babel website.  Is there a reconstructed Proto-Eskimo-Aleut?

According to Bomhard, there isn't but "great progress has been
made in reconstructing Proto-Eskimo" (p.80 "Indo-European and the
Nostratic Hypothesis" 1996). Unfortunately, the resources at my
university library are so pathetic that I can search for virtually
any non-IE language and get nothing at all. So, Bomhard uses a
Proto-Eskimo (or should we say Proto-Inuit, just to be politically correct?
:P) reconstruction. Here's what he says in
the above mentioned book, my only book on Nostratic so far :(
