i am new on this list, but my degrees have nothing to do with this
area of expertise, so having read about half the list i'm flumoxed.
i am very interested in early history and this reconstruction of
nostraitic, but does any one have a book to suggest that gives a
good guide to the technical terms being used?

part two. i read a while ago that elamo dravidian have been linked
to nile saharan, does anyone have more information on this?
furthermore, on a not necessarily reliuable web site i read that
this group(nilo/elamo/dravidian)is partially linked to iberian
languages and basque. is this nonsense or not?

thanks--i'll kep reading and hope to figure things out
