I wonder what the Y stands for?

It was through Language Log that I discovered Language Hat.

Yes, me too. Thank you for that, Loggers.

Google informs me that it's Yoffe, after his mother.

Language Hat is for the more advanced Language Log people, such as Kron and M-Lucie. Especially Kron.

Me three. In regards to both discovering the Hat and pondering the Y.

I didn't realise Liberman was of such distinguished stock.

Many felicitations to the Log.

Congratulations to Language Log. They deserve it.

'The Log People' sounds like a PBS documentary.

"'Log People' sounds like a PBS documentary." Indeed, one about people with the ability to digest cellulose.

Many congratulations to them.

I think I discovered LL through LH. I don't really remember, though, I may have come at it from several directions at once. (I'm pretty sure I found LH in the course of googling for Nahuatl poetry. Not sure how, though, as Hat doesn't seem to have ever written on the subject.)

It is gleaming red like the tlauhquechol bird -- that's a long way from the cricket pitch, if I may say so. Extraordinarily wide range of interests you have, and good luck to you.

Oh, I don't know a think about Nahuatl poetry, I just prayed to the Great God Google and that was vouchsafed me.

A thing, rather. I think.

I could go back and fix it with my hattic powers, but I have a nasty cold and don't want to strain myself.

The Hatti were Dravidians, you know.

Still are slightly. Thank goodness for hattic powers.
