Yes, actually -- although it has been a year or so since I have had time to work on it. (Demands of job, fatherhood, etc.!) But, anyway, in my "Aqileian" language -- which is mostly a kind of Proto-Italic, though "smoothed out" with some influence from Modern Romance languages (in order to make it easier for me to preserve obvious relationships with "Aqileic daughter languages"), I did my best to replace apparent loans from Greek and Estruscan, etc. with "re-conned" terms from PIE. I have not, however, worried so much about non-Latino-Faliscan Italic dialect words in my Aqileian, since I am supposing that a certain amount of adoption of dialect words is a natural feature of most languages (and because it's less work! :)). Anyway, searching back through the archives of this list, some examples of Aquileian words re-conned from PIE should be findable. Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
