It was originally written in 1968, it seems, and says that nothing is
known about the {Xazar} (i guess we know for sure what the KH in Khazar
means now) language.  He doesn't even connect it with {Qarajîm} (^ =
macron), although he does say that Qarajîm is spoken by Jews, and has
many Hebrew influences in vocabulary and sentence structure.
