Pierre Briant is good for Persian stuff. I'm currently reading Ancient Iraq by Georges Roux and its very good so far.

Probably was thinking about jumping into a shower or something and was about say "we can talk about it after I've changed clothes" or something, then realised that he has other shit to do and then changed it to basically "next time I see you guys"

> They say of the acropolis where the Parthenon is...

I hope I wasnt the only one who sang this instead of reading it

Oh deary me, how did that drop out from my head. You are correct, Sámi is related but more distantly.

Estonian, Finnish and Hungarian are Finno-Ugric languages while Sámi is a Finno-permic language. Finno-permic is a split from Finno-Ugric. There are more languages in the Finno-permic group as well.

> Finnish is not related to Danish so that’s really unlikely.

I wasnt implying it was. We have a lot of loan words.

> Finnish is related to only one European language.

Two, actually. Estonian is related closely, Hungarian not that closely.

I'll throw some more random word stuffs here

"a wolf" in Finnish is "susi", but "to howl" is called "ulvoa."

"Hovi" means "(a kings) court", these days a bunch of restaurants/etc are calling themselfs "_____hovi", for example theres a gas station called Pirkanhovi, the court of Pirkka lol.
