Ah, well then. I guess three synonymous terms for
the same language family would be a bit much! So,
it's Indo-Iranian = Indo-Aryan; Indo-Germanic =
Indo-European. I know I-G is antiquated (and a
tadge Teutonocentric); is I-A similiary antique,
or is it still in widespread use along with I-I?
Padraic.
