There use to be over amillion feral - mustangs so there has been a drastic reduction in size since spain brought horses to America and now with amendment the feral mustang can be euthanized even though nothing is wrong with them since September 10 2021

I so agree love horses

Many interesting things here. I was unaware of pre-Greek. I searched on this topic and I guess you are referring to the work of Robert Beekes? I would be interesting to know what you think about pre-Greek. It sounds in some ways like another search for an ursprache, one more artificial language that nobody ever spoke. Is this endeavor different from the search for proto-IndoEuropean? In the family tree of European languages how many of these hypothetical languages are there (if indeed there are any of these constructs that have validity). Thanks for your efforts to illuminate us!

Very interesting video!

You need videos bro.

Thanks for another interesting discussion! A fact that I have always found interesting relates to the period after the full moon. Each day after the full moon, the moon rises about an hour later (actually the amount of time of moonrise is later by a variable amount in that period of days). This means that the early evening is completely dark for an hour or more, and then the moon rises. This influences animal behavior: I have heard that predators like lions in Africa, with good night vision, will use the time of total darkness in the early evening to hunt and kill their prey. (And statistically it is reported that this is the time most likely for humans to be attacked by these animals.) If the lions are hunting for food, this allows these predators to kill their prey in the darkness when they have an advantage, and then utilize the light of the late rising moon to drag their prey back to their den.

I would be interested in video editing for you, making short clips to draw attention to your awesome podcast. Do you have a contact email?

Very cool podcast its like your own NPR.

Thank you so much for such an interesting and challenging episode! I was finally beginning to be OK with the failure of the project of reductionism in science, that is the reduction of what we know in science to something like sense perceptions. It never occurred to me that there is a similar project and a similar failure happening in the history of the study of languages, although looking back it seems like this should have been obvious. I am not quite ready to abandon my own Platonism in general, but you have given much food for thought. Thanks for one of the best and most thoughtful podcasts going!!

Thanks. I always took, "Seek & ye shall find" as a warning, in addition to a promise. No rabbit-holes for me. tavi.

Thanks for another fascinating etymological journey. Two ideas that may lead to future podcasts: first, it would be interesting to hear your views on the history of etymology. Who were the pioneers of the field, people like Walter Skeat, and who were the earlier thinkers that influenced him? I know etymology comes up in ancient Latin writers, but at the same time their results may fall short of more contemporary approaches. Did etymology arise simply from people who studied earlier languages, and noticed similarities in words, or is there something unique to this field? Secondly, etymology seems to rely on the development of languages, as this episode clearly illustrates. So perhaps exploring the history of the development and change of languages, even going back to proto Indo-European, might be something your listeners would appreciate. My comments may betray my lack of deep knowledge of these fields, but I appreciate your efforts to illuminate us!

hi

Oh there's a guy remaking it with what we know of as parts and tools of the time. th-cam.com/play/PLZioPDnFPNsHnyxfygxA0to4RXv4_jDU2.html

This better be good 😂

the least mysterious song: "Nobody Knows That"

Ironically the mic picks up the ripples of your deep voice as trebble so what is supposed to feel gentle ends up feeling like knives

Why not other lostwaves? Honestly, Like the wind (aka the "most mysterious" song on the internet) is veeeeeeery overrated. There's way better unknown songs like "Radio Silence","La Cancion De Alicia","Just A Game","CIA"... theyres way cooler and interesting lost song searches than this.

I actually used this song in my short film. It kicks ass so why not?

I was really hoping for something meatier than most watch Swift video. You spent longer on the most mysterious song than you did on the least. Audio is good quality. Overall 6/10 video. Processes are good just need more substance in the videos.

This was super interesting, I really enjoyed your video man. You got a great voice, keep it up!

Again a fascinating and insightful etymological discussion. Thanks for the "couth" and "uncouth" discussion, it makes sense that they would derive from Anglo-Saxon "cunnan". Walter Skeat, at least in what I see, does not take "can" in the sense of a tankard or mug back to the Latin "canna". He calls it a true Teutonic word, although I do see the plausibility of tracing it back to "canna". Thanks for your interesting discussion!

Here's that jump cut in It's a Wonderful Life that I mention in the episode: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:It%27s_a_Wonderful_Life_(1946)_jump_cut.webm

A fascinating discussion. I especially appreciate the combination of etymological and historical insights! Thanks.

Thanks for the interesting and thoughtful discussion!

Seriously?!!!! I searched a lot through the Internet to find out what is the most accurate calendar in the world! Why does nobody admit that the Persian one is the most precise?............ Also, why your podcast only got 2 likes!.... I cannot believe that our generation is the slave of media which only demonstrates wrong and manipulated information.

Oh, also fwiw, 4 years and the self-adhesive paper from Wallshøppe looks the same as when I hung it.
