It's purpose is to discuss IE linguistics, history, and culture. Just
like it says on the home page. It's not meant as a forum for

Sino-Tibetan, Kartvelian, PS, Old European, Uralic, etc. can be sources of loans into or from PIE.

 

Speaking of linguistics, the word, when used as a neuter possessive, is <its> not <it's>.
