Zompist Bboard Again

The matter is not whether some people are capable of properly dosing veterinary formulations of ivermectin for humans, but rather of whether the many people who have just heard that ivermectin cures COVID are capable of doing so. The kind of people who just decide to take something because they hea...

Stop using these words! It's quite obvious you've been brainwashed.

As it happens, more than a possibility it's a certainity.

On the other hand, it's relevant to mention 9/11 and 7/7 coincided with anti-terrorism drills.

Once again, WHO's "we"? :) Of course, people who have a reasonable level of knowledge about how the world really works, rather than idiotically spout off about conspiracies and whatnot. Yes, you are the they , one of those who stand between people who would like to see this pandemic come ...

Anyways, your use of the word "plandemic" along makes it clear that you are just yet another conspiracy theorist. To be honest, I'd call you, like all your antivaxxer brethren, yet another enemy of society, of all those who actually want all this to end. You're crazy. COVID-19 is a "...

In fact, Catalan can be included within Occitan, although in the outskirts.

Umm more people are going to die unless we manage to reach herd immunity, and trying to be nice about things obviously is not working - if it would have worked it would have worked a while ago. Unfortunately there are too many antivaxxers, and politely asking them hasn't worked, so "totalitari...

Once again, WHO's "we"?

You're also on my ignore list.

Yes, because they're still on phase III.

OK. My point is vaccines are drugs at the experimental stage, so people getting the jab are guinea pigs.

May I suggest compulsory vaccination along with compulsory imprisonment for negligent homicide?

Do you refer to the deaths caused by COVID-19?

Ares Land wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:40 amWe need something like 85% of the population to be vaccinated to see an end to the pandemic. What's your solution?

WHO's "we", the Word Health Organization?

Governments have been way too soft and understanding with respect to vaccines. An actual vaccine mandate, as in, no excuses, no way out, no getting your nose picked twice a week would have spared everyone a lot of whining. The correct approach would have been for everyone to get vacccinated, no ifs...

Catalan did not originate in Iberia. It was brought there in late 8th century by Franks who reconquered a small part of Spain from Muslims This is more a legend than a established historical fact.

**EDITED** Getting back to the main topic, Proto-Basque had a limited number of labial phonemes in its inventory and certainly no / m /, so in most cases this consonant is a secondary development in Basque, namely before back vowels / a, o, u /, especially at word initial. To complicate matters, in ...

Would you be so kind as to explain us what do you mean by "Brugmannization"?

Getting back to *porḱ-o- 'piglet', we've got Basque bargo id., apparently a loanword from an IE-centum language which merged /o/, /a/.
