Absolutely nothing. A fellow named Dus^an Vukotic believes
that all of IE is somehow derivable from about four

mixture of mysticism, unsystematic and very vague sound
similarities, and free association of ideas. You can get an
idea from these posts:

He also posted extensively to the Usenet group sci.lang; one
