Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Eric P. Hamp has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Zweibarren (talk) 00:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC) The reference to Eric Hamp's derivation of a number of puzzling Armenian roots from Proto-Indo-European was quite surprising to ALL linguists. Up to that point NATIVE Armenian linguists (as well as all others) didn't see the relationships. He is the one who firmly established the core Armenian vocabulary as Indo-European. All Indo-Europeanists agree with his analysis and his work in this area has spawned a re-thinking of the "normal" sound-changes that have occurred. I don't have a source to quote, but if you restore the sentence with a "citation needed", I'm sure that it'll appear. By the way, why would you edit this man's very important achievement when its inclusion might incline a reader to investigate the Armenian language, while its exclusion inhibits it? Eric Hamp is near-Mithridatic; fluent in English, Irish, German, French, Greek,Polish and Russian; competent in Latin, Hebrew, Armenian, Hittite, Mittani, Nahuatl and Mayan;capable in various language families in North America, Central America, South America, Siberia, Korea and Africa. The paragraph above ought to be on his page too, but beside my reading of his papers and talking with him, I'm unaware of where I could possibly get a citation, although his many colleges could edit any errors there.
