sure, some words are PIE related... but obviously not all... e.g. *tauso, *tust, *kaφno, *gourjo-, *kʷinnako- in conclusion, so far much more cogjates do not come from PIE than the ones that do come (2?) does that tell you something? in fact, you can see that word for curly hair *gourjo- is in...

second page -not so much cogjates... or difficult to find them... english | proto-Celtic | serbian a third | *trijano- (?) | trećina less obvious accuse | *kom-soud-e/o- (?) | sud = court, judgement "kome sude" = the one who is accused acorn (fruit of oak tree) | *messu | meso...

well, let's first do first page of vocabulary obvious cogjnates english | proto-celtic | serbian (*curly) hair | *gourjo- | kovrdzava/grgurava (curly) kosa (hair) (be) quiet | *tauso- | tiho (quiet)...

reason I start this thread is idea that Celtic or celticized tribes of Scordisci/Serdi that lived along Danube in what is now Serbia might have been former tribal identity of Serbs... also I relate both proto-Serbs and proto-Celts to peoples known as Cimmerians and Serians... Welsh people are...

this is very interesting remark... could it be that language of Balts was not affected with arrival of new peoples and languages due to their north most position, while slavic languages were influenced by iranian (sarmatians), germanic (Goths, but also Gepidi, Langobardi...) and turkic (Avars)...

thing is there are not many Dacian and Thracian words preserved.... that makes it hard to map to some concrete people..... we cannot therefore look Dacians in isolation from what was going on in whole area.... one possible mapping of today tribes to ancient tribes would be like this: Russian...

not correct Serbian - hleb Croatian, Slovenian - kruh Macedonian - leb I would say Croatian word is outlier in set... can you figure out where does it come from? btw. not sure it is a loan... loans usually do not have words with related sounds and meaning halapljiv/ (h)alav = to eat in...

really? I think 6 year old would understand transition "krava" (most Slavs) -> "karova" (Belarus) -> "karve"(Lithuanian) -> "kauve"- > "kau"/"kua (Germanic languages) from "karve"to "kauv(e)" goes via person or people who are not good in spelling "r"... calf and cow are clearly words of same...

Obviously, it was about reminders of latin speakers... even Russian primary chronicle in fragment that I quoted above uses word Vlakh for people of Roman empire.... clearly, relation between tribal/area names is not accidental... so, your example is heavily flawed as most of your examples...

would you agree that word for "cow"must be very old as people must have had a word for "cow" long time ago... let's see cow-> koe -> doesnot give slavic "krava" "krava" (most Slavs) -> "karova" (Belarus) -> "karve"(Lithuanian) -> "kauve"- > "kau"/"kua (Germanic languages) clearly...

oh, but I am not insulting you. I am insulting your linguistic capabilities. Those are quite different categories.... To anyone with a tiny bit of common sense it is quite clear that your examples are pure bullshit and that your conclusions are extremely far fetched and not in accordance even...

that makes sense as medieval serb texts mention Arbanas people.... never shqiptar...

all I can say is Przeworsk is clear continuation of Pomeranian culture... there is no doubt about that.... it has just lost its north most area of Baltic shores probably to I1 Nordic bronze people...which resulted in Baltic sea getting name mare Suebicum (Suebi = Swedes = I1) as opposed to...

you want to make instant conclusions about history of languages that you do not even speak.... you even use wrong words...you make giant assumptions based on few words whose history you do not know, every single example you provided is heavily flawed at least in one respect... what do you want...

don't you think you are oversimplifying? I do not have any knowledge about linguistic, but just by using common sense I can see how wild and wrong your assumptions are, how flawed are your proofs I will ignore your Germano-centric view in which people have no words until they get them from...

ok, Finnish people lived there... they should know, right? you are linguist.... can you explain me why do Finnish use word derived from Veneti for Russians but not for Balts? Russians - Venäläiset Balts - Balttien Estonians - Virolaiset Lithuanians - Liettualaiset Latvians - Latvialaiset

so, based on living along trade road you conclude Veneti could not have been proto-Slavs? let's see Russian primary chronicle http://www.utoronto.ca/elul/English/218/PVL-selections.pdf

really? you are now mind reader and know what Tacitus meant? Tacitus, Germania Chapter XLVI http://books.google.nl/books?id=VWne2bcwpZIC&dq=Tacitus%20Germania&pg=PA85#v=onepage&q=veneti&f=false translates as: ok, so he doubts where to class Veneti, Fenni and Peucini... although Peucini...

yes, well I did overreact... My point was that we do not even really know who were original Germans and what language did they originally speak, so it doesnot make much sense to claim that most of central and east Europe was Germanic in the sense that we now understand the word... from what I...

sorry but occam's razor doesnot agree with you... Przeworsk is clearly continuation of Pomeranian culture.. I2b was clearly never part of Pomeranian culture.. you are obviously biased when it comes to Germans actually, I do take it in account.... spreads of haplogroups are never completelly...
