I find it more likely that Etruscan is related to PIE, but that's a
discussion for another group. I'm not sure what the limits are of the
Caucasian languages (especially not from 5000 or so years ago).
However, if Indo-Europeans came from the Black Sea area then I'd say
they were close enough to, at least, the NWC peoples for language
contact to be plausible (especially given the parallels).
