What would a "violation of a sound law" be?

We had it all in that other thread. Why must I repeat
everything here in this thread? A law can be violated
by definitionem.

What is "definitionem"?

A social law can be violated by people,
a natural law can be violated by an invalid theory, and

Please learn the meaning of "violate."

a sound law can be violated by an incorrect reconstruction.

Please learn the meaning of "sound law."

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.

Magdalenian words and compounds 2006/7

No. I haven't read at least 750 of the 800+ postings in it. If you had
actually discovered regularities and principles, you would have said
so before now.

Please learn the meaning of the word "experiment" in English. Maybe it
means something different in Swiss.

Learn about experimental archaeology, then you will
know what I mean: instead of going back in time
in the way of comparative linguistics I proceed along
the arrow of time, experimenting with elements of
spoken language, arranging them in varying patterns
and looking how far I come, whether I can reach PIE
and the recent IE languages from below. Bottom up
instead of top down, which has also become the
formula of robotics, for example. You can see this
trend in ever more scientific disciplines. Are linguists
a sleeping species? Don't you ever wonder what goes
on in other scientific disciplines?

Please learn the meaning of "experiment."
