 2009 (UTC) I wish to apologize for the adverbs. I stand by my word on the content. If you hold unconventional and/or unaccepted ideas you have no chance of seeing your works published. I found it interesting browsing the links you provide: Steinbauer looks serious and steadfast, as any German scholar. About Facchetti I have no idea but that he makes a common mistake ie that of relying on folk etimologies: Selvans as it is stated in Wikipedia and as it has been noticed by Marzolla is a civil God, He has to do with political life and cannot be interpreted as the Lat. Silvanus. BTW Wikipedia is self contradicting on this point and makes the same mistake too. Another common example of folk etim. is Tyrhsenos as related to 'turris' (and hence to the Sardinians). Reading what is available on Wikipedia I met just one serious claim by Bonfante that may question the IE nature of E. ie the numerals that look from another family, maybe centroasiatic, (ie Turcomongolic?). I am very ignorant in comparative linguistic, however I was able to identify at a glance many IE words in Steinbauer's vocabulary and another provided here:  cel earth ushil sun luri bright thesan dawn mi I, me sa self marish male, husband lasa nymph, wife, young woman puia wife, woman nefts nephew tinia day, daylight maru magistrate, priest ita this, so shpur city shuthi tomb  10:56, 4 September
