The relationship has already been implicitly claimed for the PIE
pronominal neuter singular *-d, as part of the (pre-PIE)-(Afro-
Asiatic)-(Central Khoisan) sprachbund (

genders and possibly some communality of gender-related affixes.
Starostin has recently published what seems a careful analysis of
100-word lists (Mother Tongue Issue VIII, 2003), which shows that
with the exception of Sandawe and Hadze, whose inclusion remains
uncertain, Khoisan is a genetic unit.
