Quite possibly he did. In any case, if you really aren't
just indulging in an elaborate joke, you'll have to produce
much more than a tiny handful of very loose and unsystematic
lexical resemblances, especially since what I've seen of the
morphology looks very un-IE. And of course there are the
obvious geographical and temporal difficulties, which, if
not linguistic, still cannot be ignored.
