PIE-Arabic will yield false results
At least go back to Semitic --which seems to be very
well studied
and then compare it to Berber, Egyptian, and what you
can find in Chadic, Cushitic and Omotic --as well as
AA reconstructions

That kind of theory is phoney.

Who says you **First** have to reconstruct proto-anatolian
before we can use a single word of Hittite. 
Nobody applies that kind of dumb theory.
Least of Indo-Europeanists.
