Welcome
A year ago I managed a weblog called Nephelokokkygia, charting my interest in comparative Indo-European linguistics. I later took it down, feeling that I would be speaking too authoritatively for an undergraduate student, and frequently finding I had little to write about. Immediately afterward, however, my studies began to give me much more to think about, and I decided to see training in comparative Indo-European linguistics as a stepping-stone to comparative Uralic linguistics. Encouraged by some acquaintances, I have decided to set up a new blog. Безѹмниѥ (Old Church Slavonic for ‘Ignorance’ but the root of the Russian word for ‘Insanity’) will serve as a record of my progress as I have gotten way over my head in a field bent on maddening and impoverishing me. I hope that my remarks here are useful and interesting to other students, and I look forward to receiving corrections and recommendations by people smart enough to know.

Welcome back! I’m very much looking forward to following along as you make your way through the thickets of a linguistic education, and I’ll be eagerly awaiting your thoughts about comparative Uralic!
