Description

CYBALIST is a forum devoted to discussing Indo-European (IE) linguistics and related topics concerning the history and and culture of IE-speaking peoples. It is the ambition of the owners and moderators of this list to promote and popularise sound linguistic and historical knowledge, and to make our group a hospitable club where professional researchers in IE studies and amateurs with a serious interest in the field can meet and exchange ideas. Consequently, our policy is to encourage stimulating debate but to discourage off-topic chat, crank scholarship, bad netiquette and other forms of counterproductive behaviour.

Members who wish to discuss matters concerning the administration of Cybalist are advised to contact the moderators off-list or join our special side-list dedicated to that purpose: Cybalist_Admin.

Further advice for Cybalist members, including a list of things not to do on our forum, will be found here.


Etymological note: Cybalist is named after its founder, Cyril (Kirill) Babaev, who started the group in 1999. Kirill now runs the Nostratica website devoted to Nostratic linguistics and long-range comparison.

I came across Spanish sendos ¨"each (of a group)". DRAE claims it's from Latin singulos, but it perhaps coincidentally looks a lot like Celtic demonstrative

... Brian, I'm not a linguist, which is why I always come asking opinions of you guys. But to base the female deity Nerthus in *h2ner- 'man' seems strange.
