attention graduate school recruiters
I just did a reconstruction problem in record time!!! It was sooo easy! Has sitting through those arduous weeks of fascinating sound changes and nit-picky details in random languages in class finally paid off? Better yet, the Armenian word was the easiest one! Armenian is crazy! I can reconstruct anything now! Submit a word to me--I will reconstruct it to Proto-Indo-European to the best of my abilities!We're sorry, reconstructions to Proto-World cannot be done at this time.

but I had my heart set on proto-world.
I wish that Facebook had cross-college groups - I'd say let's start one called "Proto-Indo-European word reconstruction is hotttttt!!!" Because it is. I don't think anyone here would believe me, but then again, they think cottage cheese is bad for you. Chuckle.
could you please give me the English cognate for "tree"?
ummm...err...are you talking about "arboreal" something or other...umm..."arbor"..."Tyrol"...ehm...
reconstruct...hammer
do the lingusitics dance for my amusement! You know... the one where you sit in front of a computer for like 4 hours and it looks like you have headache? Or you can do the Uvular Slide, it's a dance I just made up, you move from velar /G/ to uvular /R/ back and forth really quick. (disclaimer: I know nothing of linguistics, I'm just bored with Wikipedia access)
