The Neolithic hunted hares, but rabbits I think only imported in Britain about 700 years before Roman occupation.

That post ...Yes, I have to give all credit to Maju. That post of his from 2015 got me interested in comparative linguistics. Besides Maju's comparison with Nubian languages, Basque has also been compared with Mande and Berber by Mukarovsky and with Dogon by Jaime Martin. My own analysis has found the closest relationship of words in Basque with words in languages of the Nigeria/Chad/Cameroon region, including both Chadic and Niger-Congo. Here are just a few out of several dozen: "Ash(es)" - Basque:'errauts' ; Gupa (Nupoid languages): 'aratsùwù'. "Flow" - Basque:'isuri'; Ijoid languages:'isórí','isérí'. "Arrow" - Basque: 'gezi' ; Central/East Chadic languages: 'kèsé'/'kise'/'kès-ké'/'ʔad̀ū-kēsé'/'kēsé'/'kêsè'/'kḕse'/'sáwìŋ kɛ̀sɛ́'. "Smell"- Basque:'usain(a)' ; Dwot: 'isin' ; Jimi: 'ìsəní' ; Geji:'wusəni' (all West Chadic).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013399855770625556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-75121325524093178642017-05-01T14:38:15.280-05:002017-05-01T14:38:15.280-05:00Maju had begun developing an argument on correspon...Maju had begun developing an argument on correspondences between Basque and (not Nubian) but one in close proximity. As nutty as it sounds, it does seem there's a number of correspondences there that are hard to ignore.bellbeakerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848982163843593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-5137630637948526752017-05-01T13:32:27.639-05:002017-05-01T13:32:27.639-05:00The word for 'dog' is very close in Basque...The word for 'dog' is very close in Basque, Corsican, Sardinian, and the Dazaga (Tebu) language of northern Chad:-<br />Basque: 'zakur'<br />Corsican: 'ghjacaru'<br />Sardinian: 'giagaru'<br />Dazaga (Tebu): 'zəgər'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013399855770625556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-30461022796255326792017-04-22T09:27:13.677-05:002017-04-22T09:27:13.677-05:00Bell Beakers don't seem like cat people to me,...Bell Beakers don't seem like cat people to me, although you never know.

For example, dog #1 is located in the Meseta and it is obviously improved, and of course rabbit hunting was a very big deal for ancient Iberians so the context makes connecting dots a bit easier.<br /><br />Another area of interest is the physique of common flushing hounds like modern spaniels, pointers and setters. There is some evidence of hawking in the Beaker period and dogs are commonly used to flush quarry.bellbeakerbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848982163843593127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6886680068187530519.post-51097925038301516942017-04-21T09:57:06.557-05:002017-04-21T09:57:06.557-05:00Unsure if any connection, but geographically Iberi...Unsure if any connection, but geographically Iberia is in between:<br /><br />A cryptic mitochondrial DNA link between North European and West African dogs -<br />Adeniyi C . <br />DDedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033851770461086341noreply@blogger.com
