We'd have to open a new thread for this discussion, which is certainly not new to this list but is important enough for another look. There are long lists of IE, IIr and even IA loans into Uralic, but now I'd like to see the list of reverse loans. Into Sanskrit or into "early IE".
Likewise for loans from the Caucasian families, Altaic, Basque, Semitic or others.
