That is not my position. Rig Veda is a sacred text to me. But it does
not support either the OIT or the AIT. I have no intention of leaving
this list. A trained Indo-European linguist H. H. Hock has been quoted
as saying that PIE could have been aprori be spoken in India.

Hock wrote a book of Historical linguistics
where he explains that Satem first happened
in Indo-Iranian then spreads to BaltoSlavic.
I don't think he could possibly have either said or written
such nonsense.
