message: Something should be said about his early attempt to classify European languages.  His main criterion was the word for "God", so there were Gott languages (Germanic), Deus languages (Latin and Romance), Bog languages (Slavic), Theos languages (Greek), and several other minor groupings ("Epirotic", Tartar, Hungarian etc.).

I suggest that if these are kept, that explicit block quotes be used perhaps.  Or more copy-editing so that it's more a summary...
