I have repeatedly stated I consider Hurri [&ari] is a IE language.
The sentence in the above reference is worth analyzing.

Translation (according to me)

Now, indeed,
This which has been done
this indeed (done) by the brother of me
it has been said and
I will, this indeed, do it ten times.

Hurri not being recognized as PIE is a scandal.

Apart from sen "brother" which is not obviously PIE
the rest is 100% obvious PIE fabric.
