Very recently I rpoposed a test. I gave an explanation
of words for wolf on the Magdalenian basis that differes
pointedly from the PIE explanations, and asked people
to point out a flaw or an impossibility in my reconstructions.
They gave up, they could not point out a violation of a PIE
sound law in my reconstruction,
What would a "violation of a sound law" be?
When you have gathered a respectable number of examples of systematic
correspondences between daughter-words that result in your
"Magdalenian" roots (and they turn out different from the standard PIE
reconstructions), _then_ you can state the rules that they obey, and
when further potential examples of the same rule are suggested, people
can see whether they fit the patterns you will have claimed to have
discovered.
"Respectable number" can vary, because it's not unreasonable to
expect, say, all the voiced stops to conform to a particular pattern,
or all the voiceless nasals, or whatever else you might find it
necessary to posit to account for all the observed regular
correspondences.
nor could they point out
a mistake and obvious flaw in my broader understanding
of PIE, much more differentiated in time an space than
the PIE of comparative linguistics. In short: PIE is the
evening red of Magdalenian.
What the hell is "experimental math-history"? Evidently something else
that you've made up. I just Googled the phrase and received just three
hits--all of which involve you.
A term coined by me, and a method proposed and
developed by me.
Your exercises aren't experiments.
My approach to the Ice Age language of Europe _is_
an experiment, as are the experiments of experimental
archaeology.
Please learn the meaning of the word "experiment" in English. Maybe it
means something different in Swiss.
