Serbian prefix 'po-' shows that you have no idea what really happened

So what _really_ happened? Do tell! In Russian, xodit' is "go, walk",
and most of the standard prefixes can be added -- for example, byxodit'
to go out, doxodit' to reach, zaxodit' to call on, naxodit' to find,
prixodit' to arrive, proxodit' to go past, uxodit' to go away, and
(surprise, surprise!) poxodit', to take a walk.

Semper docendo nihil disco! Pohoditi => poći (go walk); are you really
unable to see that the word 'put' (for which you said to be a cognate
of Sanskrit "pantha:s-", Avestan 'pa(n)T-", Greek "patos"and "pontis",
Latin "pons") has been derived from your "PREFIXED" word
'pohoditi' (poći)? Your books and "scientists", which you have cited,
are in a big trouble now, are they not? ;-))

In Serbian, the cognate to Russian xodit' is hoditi. Since I don't
speak Serbian, I don't _know_ that pohoditi is cognate with Russian
poxodit', but you'll have to give me a pretty good argument to convince
me otherwise.

Read the above lines.

Everyone can thumb through the books
or online dictionaries and find the articles about "history" of
'passus'.

I've certainly never come across an "article on the history of passus".
I doubt if any journal would accept such an article, it's so trivial and
obvious.

There is nothing 'obvious' in your 'scientific' explanation. I thought
about "article' in sense of a separate section of datas, concerning
'passus' and or other related and relevant words. You are wrong, the
words cannot be trivial but 'scientific" theories, conclusions or
thoughts similar to the gibber you are presenting here!

"Passus" is mentioned, along with a few thousand other words, in just
about every book on IE historical linguistics. Big deal.

[...] the primeval syllables BEL-GON

What the *** is a "primeval syllable"????

Primordial, primal - ever existent! The self-generating well of human
speech - XURBELANUM (SUR, HOR. BEL, GON, UM)

[...]

Latin 'platea'

Borrowed from Greek <plateia>; it's a derivative of greek <platus>, cf
Sanskrit prthu-, PIE *plth2us.

Nothing more to say? How disappointed!

Be careful and do not rush with your answer John. Actually, I would
not be happy to see your "scientific" reputation completely ruined.
Nonetheless, you are not the moth-eaten Brian the Brain!

Neither Brian nor me have a "reputation" to be "ruined".

Brian the Copy/Paste with his endless qutations from BrainyQuote!

Obviously, you missed that I wrote word "scientific' under quotes!!!
There is no reason for being worried. None at all! ;-))
