Dear Ron,

you wrote about the collection of Marcelo Jolkesky:

I'm not quite sure all this was meant to be serious.

What's up with all those engs (ŋ), anyhow? Is it a decoding problem?

Where did he get the Indo-European data? For instance, where I come from
Indo-European for 'bind' is **bhindh-* (cf. Sanskrit भन्ध- *bhandh-* and
भिन्ध- *bhindh*).

Exactly these were my own thoughts when I looked into the collection!

Allerbest!
