Just that you've come a long way from thinking that your theories somehow proved that historic events never happened.
Now you're just uninteresting, instead of a straight loon. -fellow linguists appraisal, not my own, ofc.
By the way, what do you think, is "Vladimir Putin" his real name? "Vladimir" can be read as "ruler of the world" or "peaceful ruler", both readings seeming rather ironic for one of the most powerful people in the world. James Patrick Mallory suggested in Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture, that Teuta(na), the name of a famous Illyrian queen, as it is written in historical sources, wasn't actually her real name, but a title meaning something like "mistress of the people" (from the root *tewt). Well, by that logic, "Vladimir" probably isn't Vladimir Putin's real name either, right?
