neutral wrote:Except some words and basical phrases I know nothing of Kurdish,but we must keep in mind that Kurdish(or more appropriately Kurdish dialects)is a very lately attested language so perhaps we will never know if ergativity in Kurdish is a later innovation or a result of the influences of substratum languages.

What's "archaic proto ie" about gender? It's present in virtually all modern Indo-European languages
neutral wrote:If the indo-iranian homeland would be eastern Anatolia,the fact that ergativity,among all ie branches,is present soley in the indo-iranian branch would be a proof that ergativety was an inherited feature from the ergative Anatolian substratum languages of Mitanni(and other propable indo-iranian languages of Anatolia such as Lulubby...)
Again, I can't emphasise enough how important it is for you to read an introductory work on historical linguistics before further spamming the board with your incoherent hypotheses.
