Links outside PIE are firstly so unproved, and secondly projected across such a huge period of time, that I would hesitate to use any as the basis for a restructuring of what can be shown within PIE.
I agree that links, and correspondences, and common patterns are highly suggestive, but it remains a great disappointment to me that neither I-S’s attempt, nor Bomhard’s (in either of its two versions) actually works.
So in my never-humble opinion, what we can prove about PIE must be proved from PIE.
