> It seems more logical to me that Sanskrit's ancestor(s) broke off of PIE
before Ablaut, and thus never had /ei/, /oi/, /eu/, or /ou/, but simply /ai/
and /au/, which can easily turn into /e/ and /o/, respectively.

Such scenarios, and the reasons why they must be rejected, were discussed at
length some time ago. Try searching the list archive using "Misra" as the
keyword.
