Re: Brugmann's Law

It would seem that Slavic was too far west to have
influenced Uralic. Indo-Iranian and Tokharian would
have been in the neighborhood.
Who knows if other IE languages were swamped by the
spread of Iranian over the steppe.
I've seen somewhere reference to an IE substrate in
Slavic but I forget where and I don't have the
knowledge to know if it's legit or a crackpot idea
