 Some people also like to throw in the Mogollon people
of the southwestern US; but anyone who knows the basic
underlyings of historical linguistics knows this
proposal is ill-advised, as the connection would have
to be 20,000 years or more back in time, and
reconstruction methods are only valid back 5,000 years
or so, or at most, 10,000 years (and this is _really_
stretching it).
