Mehergarh. Is it not part of the Proto-Indo-Iranian area?

I am not repeating it, Piotr. I only cited the Mehergarh evidence
only in the context of the need to understand the language situation
in the region west of River Sindhu in, say, the 7th or 6th
millennium. That is, to see if a reconstruction is possible for
periods prior to the beginning of PIE.
