Very sorry to hear about David McAlpin's demise. I had communicated rather recently with him. His research about the possible connection of Dravidian with Elamite opened a new direction to think about Indian prehistory. May he rest in peace.

I share Palaniappan's sorrow. David taught me Tamil from a comparative linguistic perspective when I was a student at the University of Pennsylvania.
