Loren, did you *have* to cross-post this crap to sci.lang?  Steve Whittet is
the reason I stopped reading sci.archaeology--one cannot successfully argue
with an idee fixe of this sort.  One would have better luck teaching a pig to
sing.

Take it back to sci.archaeology, where I don't have to see it.

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.
