I'm puzzled. How does that support OIT?

Varuna is purely Indic god, being conspicuous by his abence in Iranian
tradition.
In other words, Varuna was absent at AIT time. but he is certainly pre RV,
with very few hymns invoking him beiing left in RV .

The word is Indic, not the concept and the sphere of influence of Varuna :
rta, magical links, unfriendly universe.

Does the AIT timeline support this much of growth and decline of Varuna as a
pure Indic God? it certainly does not - especially when one would want to
place RV after Mitanni inscriptions,.which talk about Varuna.
Thus, there is only one possibility - there is no AIT.

Nothing supports the idea of a growth followed by a decline.
Your conclusion is just absurd.
