Two more Uhlenbeck memories (and more Basque parallels)

description I. Prefix a- denoting persons and the possible existence of an ergative are grammatical features that Etruscan has in common with Basque. II. The etymology of Basque burdin, etc. "iron" is still uncertain (probably a loan from Asia). III. There is (further) lexical evidence that the Basque peoples and languages reached the Pyrenean Mountains from the Middle East during the period of the early spread of civilization. IV Examples are given for lexical parallels of the basic vocabulary between the incoming Basque languages in the Pyrenean Mountains and the Berber languages across the Gibraltar Straits, dating form the early period of the spread of civilizacion. V The relics of the basic vocabulary of "homo sapiens", as noted above, have a universal distribucion. The dispersal of "homo sapiens" should have a timedepth of less than six thousand (6000) years. lntermittent universality detracts from the value of the basic vocabulary for comparative purposes while oculining early historical events. Consequently, the cultural vocabulary and grammatical idiosyncrasies deserve emphasis instead.
