And where do your "Magdalenian laws" come from? From your own

Any scientific law comes from imagination, or intuition,
or whatever. The important step is to formulate those
laws and then to U S E them in a systematic manner.
First, you have to prove that they apply.
I used them in a systematic manner to mine Magdalenian
permutation groups, and now I use my reconstructions
for explaining words, for example bear.
I've already addressed this vis-a-vis legends, myths, folk etymologies.
Making up a story to explain something real doesn't make your story the
real explanation.
nor does application of formulas that leads to positing supermen who
pronounced words with roots such as gwrHto plHno bhwHto and dhghem in
their everyday speech.
Paul Kriha, who, I guess, pronounces words such as krk, skrz, and srp
with no difficulty, will surely be flattered to be called a superman.
Yeah, I want it in writing! A signed hard copy for my CV, please.
Just to make it quite clear, without any hesitations and
with no gaps between words (except where indicated)
I can rattle off sentences like: "Mrd, scvrnkls drn skrz krk!" :-)
