Props to cthagod for giving people like this a chance to speak on their platform.

What's the deal with brother polight. After I saw this interview I went to YouTube and see a lot of people calling a crook and a thief. This was my first time hearing him speak.

he made mention of the language factor and he made mention within another interview w/ sa neter. He didnt addressed cause he was getting hit with so many questions. "transitivity." It is because of this process that we know that looks can be deceiving and why linguists do not do surface comparisons and must look for sound-meaning correspondences and sound laws to establish relationships (I know Polight knows though he isnt no lightweight). This is how we know Zande, for example, is closer to M-E than Coptic. It also demonstrates how Zande vocabulary may "look" different on the surface, but in facts preserves the very elements and history that establishes a relationship to Middle-Egyptian. I lowkey want to make a thread in regards to the African language factor...idk maybe i will
