Karl, this is not my understanding of what you have done. It seems to me 
that rather you have repeatedly rejected or ignored all information 
given to you about what cognate languages can reveal for such terms. 
Indeed I thought you had rejected the principle that cognate languages 
can help, certainly that the common scholarly understanding of cognate 
languages can help.

And I admire you for that.
