Just a quick response, and then this thread is history, as far as I'm concerned.

I can assume you're familiar with these articles?

No I'm not.

If you have any free access to them, then thank you for providing it.
Otherwise you'll have to explain them yourself.

No, I can just get the first page. But if you are near a good university library, you could surely find them there, if this subject really interests you.

So far your statement about Greek and Latin remains completely plucked from the air.

Ok, Arnaud, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. But unless you have studied these languages, you might want to keep that opinion...tentative.
