Taylor, I have some trouble with this sentence:
"The Danubian languages are part of the of the Europic Macrofamily, which consists of Indo-European, Hesperic, and Rhaeto-Etruscan."
The Europic hypothesis, as I have developed it, does not include Etruscan. There is simply not sufficient evidence for such a relationship, and to say that "Rhaeto-Etruscan" was a part of the "Europic macrofamily" is no less wrong than saying that it was a branch of Indo-European. You may be of the opinion that Etruscan was related to Indo-European (I am not), but using the same name for that hypothetical relationship that has been assigned to another, unrelated hypothesis, is not cricket.
I have no trouble with your Danubian being related to Etruscan; it may belong to a stratum earlier than Hesperic, but that would mean that it is not Europic.
