I actually find your comment very useful and therefore upvoted it.

Could you address his arguments rather then himself? A little background doesn't hurt, but let me make up me mind before calling people names.

Also I don't necessarily agree with him, but at no point in the interview a housing market is mentioned.

New comment by SockThief in "The Indo-European Family Tree"

SockThief — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 01:13:21 +0000

It's quite funny for me, because (from the article) in Slovene the dialect is refered to as "kočevarščina".

I don't know Slovene, but I speak one of the Slavic languages and it sounds to me as "cat's growl".

Not very nice maybe, but we're talking about meanings long lost in time.

We call Germans: "Niemcy" and it comes from the word "niemy", which now means "mute", but used to mean "foreigner" in proto-slavic. We don't think of mutes when meeting Germans tho. We never did.

Of course no ill will intended here. Just a bit of history perhaps.
