Boy that about.com forum is a pain to navigate. Combines all the worst features of flatline and threaded. I have another site that challenges the eskimo vocabulary hoax thesis. If I can find it, I'll post it. I think it's bookmarked only on my work machine. Lists maybe about 40 some odd eskimo lexemes for snow. Maybe. It gets a little hard to tell in polysynthetic languages (or whatever they're calling them these days) what *is a lexeme. As for the English, I have trouble considering these:
snow fort
snow house
snow man
as separate lexemes for snow.
