Nope. If it were true, we'd all still be speaking Proto Indo-European.


Your confusing the evolution of language with the fact that at any point in time any word had specific meanings. It could have had more than one, but if there were not a significant number of like users it would be meaningless.

If there were no anchor points of meaning we would all be uttering gibberish and you would be unable to disagree with me. laugh
