David Kummerow,
 
You keep saying that you won't comment on Isaac Fried's ideas, and then you 
keep commenting on them. I think you are worried that people might believe 
his ideas that are not accepted by mainstream linguists. I think anyone who 
is educated enough to read and understand his etymological dictionary of 
Hebrew would be educated enough to know that his ideas are not mainstream. 
Less educated people don't sit around reading etymological dictionaries, and 
are not going to accept non-mainstream linguistic ideas or even mainstream 
linguistic ideas. 
 
When I first read his ideas I did not understand them, and mostly I still 
don't. His ideas are for people who are better educated
in Hebrew, and they should be able to evaluate them, so you don't have to 
worry. If they like them, then they probably understand that they are not 
mainstream, and they don't mind.
