****GK: Hubert has a long chapter in "Rise" on the
position of Celtic in IE and its various connections,
which I haven't read yet (scrolling through I see that
he cites Meillet and d'Arbois frequently). The
Volcae/Volsci item was from another context. If there
is a connection between Italy's Veneti and Baltic
Venedi (plus the Breton group?) perhaps it is very
old. Older than the mid-millennium BCE. Hubert thinks
that Celtic groups played a role as intermediaries in
the amber trade from the time of their big expansion
if not earlier, which does not mean the
"Venetic/Venedic" role did not exist at the
extremities. As for Corded Ware I've always thought it
was the carrier of some rather ancient set of IE
dialects, including whatever evolved into
Germanic.****
