Herb,

I've noticed that recently people have started referring to "Common 
Indo-European" instead of "Proto-Indo-European". Apparently, there's a 
theory around that the Anatolian branch of IE had a different parent 
language than most of the other IE families; I've also read about a 
proposal of "primary" vs. "secondary" homelands, with one likely in 
roughly the place that the original IE homeland was proposed, in Europe 
somewhere rather than in Anatolia or the Caucusus. Do you know anything 
about this? (I'm sure you read up on this in your spare time --  ;-)  )
