ALL YOU DO IS PARROT THE IGNORANT PERSONAL OPINIONS OF OTHERS ON SUBJECTS THAT NEITHER YOU OR THEY HAVE EITHER STUDIED OR UNDERSTAND!

HOW DID YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR OPINIONS? BY READING THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS. AND FAILING TO UNDERSTAND THEM.

BY READING THE EXTANT ACCOUNTS OF THE GENUINE UNADULTERATED HISTORICAL FACTS NOT THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS!

That's bollocks - as anyone who actually had any real understanding of this subject would realise. There ARE no "extant accounts of the general unadulterated historical facts" with regard to proto-Indo

General? I said GENUINE.

European or proto-African-Semitic, and certainly not with regard to

Extant Afro-Asiatic/Semitic texts pre-date the very invention of Pro-Indo-European.

borrowings from the latter to the former. They are all prehistoric and no writings in either of these languages exist. PIE is recoverable only by the exercise of scholarly judgement and opinion.

Yes, PIE is nothing more than speculation and personal opinion whereas Afro-Asiatic/Semitic languages can be traced back to before PIE was even spoken though the just written record alone. If the Hebrew word for Earth is Eretz then it is demand fucking clear that the indo-European equivalent almost certainly derives from the earlier Semitic.
