	Having been persuaded that this is a useful exercise, the author traces his growth as an etymologist and Indo-Europeanist from his early linguistic situation and guidance via a series of sidesteps through science, engineering, slavistics and an iconoclast Indo-Europeanist mentor to a barely supervised PhD in the subject. It is hoped readers will not be unduly disturbed by the author’s lack of formal training in the precise disciplines in which he continues to publish in the belief that the background here portrayed may explain his adherence to a number of minority views.
