[Fictionary] Tsimshianic-Tocharian

[Pierre Abbat]

There's a linguist named John Dunn who proposes, with a list of cognates, that 
Tsimshianic is a branch of Indo-European. One of those cognates is an 
alga - "dulse", which is from Gaelic, is cognate, he says, to a Tsimshianic 
word for Alaria. On phonological and geographic grounds, its closest kin is 
Tocharian. Do you think this deserves looking into as does Ket-NaDene?
