Re: Did IE languages spread before farming?

Elsewhere, David Anthony, Shards of Speech, 1995, Antiquity, v. 69
was cited: "Terms for wheel, axle and draft pole, and a verb
meaning 'to go or convey in a vehicle' suggest that PIE existed as a
single language after 3500 B.C., when wheeled vehicles were invented."

Assume *Kwekwelo- connoted the wheel; what are the IE or PIE terms
for: axle, draft pole and a verb meaning 'to go or convey in a
vehicle'?

What are the synonyms in Sumerian, Tamil, and other languages of
Bha_rata?
