The ridiculous part, of course, being that Modern English isn't special, that "no man" didn't mean anything 6,000 years ago when PIE was spoken, and that its contemporary equivalent, smth. like "*ne dʰǵʰemṓn" doesn't mean anything in Modern English.
Also, the actual reconstructed form of "name", *h₃néh₃mn̥, looks a lot less like "no-man" than they seem to think.
Ye it's closer to latin than PIE :3.. of course given how they type, and their thoughts on word relation, them not knowing the word doesn't seem that surprising lol
