Underneath is an excerpt from a long "laryngeal" debate on Cyba-Cave-
List. After having read this thread, a reasonable clearminded person
would certainly have concluded that something went terrible wrong
during the process of the Cyba-Cavemen's brain evolution: - Insane

These people behave like a bunch of monkeys, confined in a narrow
cage, while trying to grab the virtual banana from the TV screen.

First, the words like Gr. oκταλλος (oκκον), Lat. oculus, Serbo-Slavic
oko (ugledati look, spot; ogledalo mirror), Ger. Auge are not related
to Gr. οπτιλλος, οφθαλμος, όπτός, όψις M.Lat. opticus. The so-called
Greek -̂Wh- > -kW- > -p/ph/f- "phonetic mutation" is the product of an

Right, never mind that there is overwhelming documentation of these correspondences.

It means that the first above-mentioned group of IE words (oculus) is
derived from the Gon-Bel basis

....which is the very product of an overheated and exuberant imagination.
