Re: non-PIE germanic lexis

A list of these was compiled by Rick McAllister and placed
online but his pages disappeared when he left his job.
You could try Google and Wayback. He also posted those
lists to a now-defunct IE or Nostratic mailing list.

Actually, I have just tried Googling, & find only Roger
Mills saying the same thing in 2003:

Sorry I can't be of more help.
