I heard that Tokharian is only a modern label and that it is not related to (mediaeval?) name Tukharistan. So where did they get idea Tocharian from or why? Its like the name Turanian not necsessarily the same as Iranian myth name Tur((an)ia)? Perhaps this would make a good topic/thread: "where did modern ethnic/cultural labels come from?" or "The connection between modern labels and ancient people names".
NZ's mandatory fluoridation is not fair because it only forces it on the disadvantaged/some and not on the advantaged/everyone.
