English 'shell' is closely related to the Serbian verbs 'hteti',
'želeti' and 'žudeti' (want, wish; Russ. хотеть, желать; Cz. chtěl
wanted, po-žadavek want).
Old English 'scill' sounds almost the same as Serbian dialectal šćel-
(to want; Serb. hteli, hteo). It is an unbelievable stupidity to tell
that these words (shall, should) are in any connection with the OE
scealu (shell, husk; shell/husk is related to Serbian 'školjka' /
shell/).
That's awesome. In these two sentences, you tell us that your assertion
that English "shell" is related to Serbian "to want" is justified
*because* the words sound almost the same, and then you tell us that
*even though* certain other words sound almost the same, it is wrong to
imagine they are related. You make an argument in one sentence, and then
you reject the very same argument in the next as an "unbelievable
stupidity".
Does any one understand why and how are the words 'shell' and
'should') related the English verb 'ask'?
Does anyone understand why and how Gouda cheese and solenoid relays are
related?
The problem is that you can't understand that 'ask' is akin to Serbian
'iskati' (ask; past participle 'iskal-), and that 'iskal-' is clearly
related to Serbian 'šćel-'/'htel-' (want/ed). Of course, Serbian
'iskati' is in relation with Serb. 'znati' (to know) as well as
English 'ask' is related to English 'know'; but, I think, at this
moment, it is too complicated for you and your actual ability of
understanding.
The relationships between Serbian words for "ask", "wanted",
"know", etc. are just as close and obvious as the relationship
between Harland's Gouda cheese and solenoid relays.
Unfortunately, it is all too complicated for "the rest of us and
our actual ability of understanding" to comprehend all that.

Kriha, it seems, you and linguistic science are away from each other
for a few thousands of light years.
Compare Russian искать/iskaty with Latin ex-igo -ere and Serbian iz-
goniti (both with the meaning "drive out"). Also, see Serbian izgon
(ex-/h/odus; cf. Russ. исход/is-hod exodus and искать/iskaty search,
seek, examine), iskanje (demand, search) and znanje (knowledge) in
comparison with English exam, ask and knowledge.
Wow, I think that's one of the most opaque "compares" you've ever
written. Evidently everything everyone has ever explained to you about
what's wrong with your "methodology" is "too complicated for you and
your actual ability of understanding", because you keep doing the same
thing, except now I think it's getting worse.
I am trying to animate the "wings" of your stalemated creative
imagination; and I am using the Socrates' technique of leading
conversations in an unanticipated.way. ;-)
In other words, you are incapable of justifying any of your theories.

Quite different: there is nothing in the field of diachronic
linguistics what could be explained in a satisfactory way without the
use if my HSF (Xur-Bel-Gon) theory.

But you never explain anything with your theory. You claim and then give unjustified lists of "compares". That's it. And you are unable to understand why that isn't science.
