I don't think so - except for the German term "Indogermanisch" (Indo-German= =3D=0D ic) to describe the East-West borders of that fictive=20 language family. This is not too precise since the Western border maybe is = =3D=0D not designated by the Germanic (Iceland???) but by the=20 Celtic (Gaelic) language group. Yet, "Indoeurop=E4isch" still isn't too com= mo=3D=0D n a term in German. .aulun.
