I assume you are referring to Elias Wessén (1889-1981), a Swedish linguist who was 
fellow of Svenska Akademin (anyone has a short biography of him? Please post it 
to my adress, or here if you find it suiting the topics).
I'd be interesting in reading this part, and I ask any member familiar with this 
passage to send me some references on it. I have some books from him, and although 
some ideas are clearly of old, he has many interesting ideas and a credible research 
in most cases.
