A correction to the list of references, and an addition:

Frederik Otto Lindeman.  _Introduction to the 'Laryngeal Theory'_.  This is a
	mid-1980s synthesis of the state of our knowledge.  It is fairly
	technical; you should have at least some background in linguistics and
	the classical languages to appreciate it.  However, it is intended as a
	classroom text for students of Indo-European linguistics, and is one of
	the books you should read.

(I had confused the title with that of a paper *against* the laryngealist
position.  The memory's the second thing to go, they say; what was first?)

Emile Benveniste.  _Origines de la formation des noms en indo-europ{\'e}en_.  A
	classic exposition of the data as known in the early 1930s.

Rich Alderson   You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
                of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
                logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
                know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
                as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
                what not.
