I side with the idea that the Uralic and IE words are inherited
roots from a common origin and that there was never any direct
contact between Uralic and IE. Sure, the *na"xI word seems like
it's borrowed from *gWnax (if we assume loosely that *gW- had
disappeared due to Uralic syllabic constraints) but then again
they could also be faux-amis. I also don't see any way for *na"xI
and *gWnax to be inherited roots from an earlier parent language.
