First of all, I'll have to thank you (and Peter T. Daniels) for
indicating the importance of finding regular changes. My only
objection is that you seem to be setting the standards too high - no
regular correspondences have ever been found within some of the well-
established (?) families, like Afro-Asiatic, for instance.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud. The basic handbook on Afroasiatic, chock-full
of correspondence sets, was written by your own eminent countryman, I.
M. Diakonoff. (ist ed., *Semitio-Hamitic*; 2nd ed., *Afrasian*).

Not to mention that if there ever was a linguistic family where even
the most benighted amateur should be able to establish at least some
of those correspondence sets by himself, it is the Afro-Asiatic one.
