You reminded me that I have Carl Darling Buck's "A Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the PIE Languages" on my shelf. I am looking forward to regular reading of it in retirement. There are so many connections to see!
My adopted daughter, Desi, born in Bulgaria of Roma (Gypsy) heritage, has been hunting for her biological parents for years. She has computer-generated color-dot maps of her genetic relatives, near and far, and they sweep like a rainbow out from India, across Iran, up into the Caucasus Mountains, and on into Western Europe. Her ancestry matches the march of the Proto Indo-European language.

Really interesting!
As a linguist, I'd like to say good job! This is a good overview of PIE and the theories/processes that gave rise to it. :)
