Where to study Bedic-Greek-Hittite comp. ling.

[B. Reusch]

To the list:
A friend of mine is asking a question, which I wonder whether you'd like to
help me with.
He has a PhD in Skt. from Harvard and is now interested in studying Old
Greek and Hittite for the sake of Vedic-Greek-Hittite comparative analysis.
He does not live on a tight budget, as I do, and is practically free next
year to concentrate on his own studies. Where would you advice this person
to go?
What he has in mind is the IE program at UCLA or Germany. Yet from
speaking, very briefly indeed, with Prof. Antilla two years ago I got the
impression that the IE program at UCLA is sort of dying out. Am I wrong?
Then if Germany is a good place, where specifically should he look? He is
attending some academic conference somewhere in Germany in the first week
of June, and would stay in Germany for a year or more if that's the best
for him.
I'd appreciate your kind help.
With best wishes,
Beatrice
