Lynx (was Re: Uralic and IE)

[Glen Gordon]

PETER GRAHAM:
   Lynx was surely intended by whoever mentioned it as an example.
   It is not the only Greek word ending in -nx.   There is also syrinx
   (shepherd's pipe), and of course sphinx, and (shame on you all for
   not spotting it!) larynx. These are all -ng stems.
ADAM HYLLESTED:
   and phalanx, an -ng stem too.

And don't forget <kleenex>. Happy belated April Fools! :P
I think we're going off topic here. Miguel brought this up in
connection with his idea that IE once had *-k (??) which was
originally in connection to external relationships like Uralic with
IE.
