IE "Urheimat" and evidence from Uralic linguistics

[Hans Holm]

RW>And if you want to use Anttila 89 as a source

.. 'use' is the correct expression. It is not the Bible.

You cite Anttila with
RW>"'Related' is a technical term, exactly like the equivalent 'cognate',
RW>meaning that the items were once identical."

And then go on:
RW>This is the criterion of genetic relatedness in historical linguistics.

1) Anttila speaks of lexemes/items.
2) This was not the point I objected.

It is no use to state things as true, which nobody can prove or disprove.
So, changing your 'related' to 'relatable', in the sense of Anttila, will
be okey.
