I have read Witzel in a lot of detail and I am quite familiar with the
EJVS. I am also awere of his willfull mistranslations of Sanskrit

Uralic language family and its homeland is far from settled.

Here is an inconvenient truth for you:

The Uralic Language Family: Facts, Myths and Statistics (Publications
