Pre-Greek hydronyms

While browsing for pre-Greek toponyms, I found several hydronyms that reminded me of E. Forrers (Glotta Volume 26, 1938) etymological expanation of the place name Lerna, a region of springs and a former lake near the east coast of the Peloponnesus. He suggested an etymology from the Hattic plural prefix le- and arinna/arna 'spring', 'fountain', 'well' (maybe deriving from the proto-Hattic word for source).

The hypothesis linking pre-Greek with the pre-Indo-European languages of Anatolia...

Where do Armenians come from?

I find it necessary to write summary about languages because of all those currently active discussions. Also it is necessary to write a word or two about roots of peoples and tribes and perhaps in correct general approach to answer on question "where do armenians come from?"

Lingustic reminiscences are maybe the only certain evidence we have about early migrations of tribes, and the lines of those immigrations. By proper research of linguistic roots, scientists managed to...

My theme is that at some time circa 10 - 20,000BCE something, what is open to question but I give my thoughts, happened to change Homo Sapiens into modern mankind.
