</span><br></blockquote></span> <div><font face="times new roman" size="3">I
can certainly respect John's work here, but I think there are a few
small details he has left out of his major thesis. For one thing, he
did not specify whether his Tocharian word "bramn.kte" was Tocharian A
or B. One came under heavy influence from Hindic teachers from further
south; the earlier version did not. Yet, the earlier version is the one
that most clearly reflects its origin as a "Centum" Indo-European
tongue, as opposed to a "Satem", or more eastern, Indo-European origin.</font></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">So
we also must conclude that John's "...holy mystery [i.e., the
sacrament]..." must actually convey a meaning more like "...holy ----
[i.e., the excrement]. Then, too, his Bram- word free flow association
progression must refer to the German City-State of Bremen: Otherwise,
we would never have had a holy man called "Adam of Bremen".</font></div> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Too,
the Bremen shipbuilders (would a Bremer Bram have been redundant?)
would have called a steam boiler sailor shovelling coal down below, a
"Bram Stoker". This gives us a clear connection to Transylvania. And to
the Silk Road, where Tocharians sold their rugs and carpets under
blessing, hence the "Vlad Teppich". And that, then, returns us to
Transylvania: because "Vlad Tepec" was Dracula.</font></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Finally,
recent scrapings from inside the skulls of Uyghur mummies, who perhaps
spoke an early form of Tocharian, has revealed that their last words
were "bran". And not "bram". One can easily conclude that the Xinjiang
Europeans, with a culture almost identical to the Hallstatt Celts, died
of "bran". This suggests that their diet, preponderantly of whole-grain
breads, coupled with the small breathing space in their yurts, caused
them to die of flatulence poisoning. Oh, the excrement, the horror.</font></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Will this pseudo-scientific rambling never cease?</font></div> <div> </div> <div>
