I came across another reference; I do not have access to it.
Alexander Lubotsky, "Indo-Iranian substratum", in Christian Carpelan
et al., Early contacts between Uralic and Indo-European, Helsinki,
2001, Mémoires de la Société Finno-Ougrienne 242). This seems to
pursue a similar line of identifying non-Indo-European linguistic
slubstratum of south Central Asia.

When there is so much substratum stuff in this region including NW
India, how to unravel Masica's Language X of NW India?
