Uralic-Etruscan links?

Another kite

Consider this

Etruscan Hungarian English
ais(ar) isten god
apa apa father
avil év year
eca ez this
hud hat six

This would seem to suggest some Etruscan-Uralic (or at least
Finno-Ugric) connection. Evidence perhaps of Glen's IT theory as
having connections across the Steppe.

Or maybe something else. Uralic has a good chance of being derived
from the Mesolithic Tardenoisian of the Ukraine. Tardenoisian as a
culture extended from France to the Ukraine at the end of the Ice
Age.
If the Rhaeto-Etruscan connection is valid, and it represents a
survival of the pre-IE language of Europe, a cognate Tardenoisian
connection may be valid. In which case the Indo- part of IT could be
due to very early culture contact, not genetic link.

Just flying kites (again)
