Dear Michael,

A minor point, as I have not yet read the paper in detail---but I am curious as to why Monier-Williams is used as the semantic base instead of Mayrhofer's EWA. For instance, based on MW the author renders ari- as "enemy," when it really could not be so as that is a post-Vedic in situ semantic development. At the hypothesized phase of the language, it should mean something like "other" (following Thieme "other (person)" > RV "guest") and any local semantic developments in the Mediterranean would proceed from that sense. 

Best,
Caley
