    @awl Yeah, the reconstructionist perspective places a much greater emphasis on the distinct structure of the language, whereas Schleicher's interpretation focuses on how disparate vocabulary would construct narrative. Both require a specific context exhibited by language that is missing from PIE outright, so meditations on it are meditations on the nature of language itself. It's interesting to really ponder.
