  Nir,

A great deal of serious  scholarship was published
on two sides of this  fascinating and complex fence.
 I'll mention only two names, each from a different
side: Avi Hurvitz, and Ian Young.

  Uri Hurwitz
( not a relative of the former)


   

 > uri,

my interest in linguistics is basically diachronic, and at times i
use a reflection of the present use as a possible clue to understanding
its past use. clearly i do not imply them to be equal, but often there
is a clear evolution between them.

some people may disagree, but i assume that diachronic arguments are not
banned in this forum.

[though in the case of X$ML=electricity i fully agree with you. this
term was re-defined in the late 19th century. >
