Nothing useful to a theory to which relations are exclusively by descent.

Ok
M. Big Docteur ès substrats en tous genres.
Sometimes you're not entirely irrelevant.
The major problem with your theories
is that it's 99,9 % speculations
and you are stockpiling layers and layers
of speculations without any control possible
upon what language is what
and how do we sort out what from what
This is also the problem
with your Germanic theory
Unverifiable
Unfalsifiable
Uncontrollable
As usual.
You should write SF.
