I'm afraid you get no external data from those groups; comparative
reconstructions assuming that PIE and PAA, etc., come from a common
proto-language are doomed to create only fancies which will become
impossibly idiotic at any level of complexity.

I think the idiots are those who believe in dogmas.
I think it's just a matter of time until it works.

=============
The fact is all those groups of languages you mentioned and many
more are branches of IE.
The mergers of stops + H you mentioned aren't true and no H caused
kY in 'dog'.

It's nice to know what your dogmas are.
