Satem/Kentum IČ,IC/K

If we read in the VENETI First Builders of European Community By Šavli, Bor and Tomažič *P.188, we learn that the ancient Veneti had a letter (character) or letters (characters) which looked like >l if written (customarily) from right to left (like Hebrew) or like l< if written from left to right (like contemporary languages of Europe). This element could be read as an “IC” or as a “K” . The dichotomy between Satem and Centum (Kentum) main branches of Indo-European languages appears to stem from this (IC – K) uncertainty of very early (Slavic)-Indo-European experience. This binary interpretation continues to be manifest when one compares modern Slovenian and Czech lexicons (especially as applied to patronymic names, nicknames and animals).

Thus, the Slovenian and Czech lexicons are indicative of the central role that Slavic languages (VENETIC) played in the original Centum/Satem dichotomy. If we go back far enough we see that the “fraternal twins”: Satem and Centum both come from the Slavic “STO” (100) Cradle.
