Everybody says my nom de blog is unpronounceable. First of all, if you can’t pronounce it, just spell it out, and you’ll do just fine. Second of all, if people spent more time on important things like Indo-European paleolinguistics instead of silliness like settling international conflicts and engineering economic growth, they would realize that N can be pronounced as a vowel. Vocalic N is a standard feature in proto-Greek. If only some pre-Homeric bards would read my blog, we’d be off and running.
