****GK: If "the invading hordes" (here we include both
the SE and W pushes from the E by CW and Yamna-- only
the SE might properly be viewed as "destructive
onslaught") entered IE territory,and were not
themselves IE, then the question arises of how the E
became IE. This was discussed on this list back in
2001/2002. There is no satisfactory explanation. If
the "invasion" is of IE "hordes" taking over other IE,
then the question becomes how did they all become IE
prior to the "invasion". There is no satisfactory
explanation.****
