 >> What does your research say about basque numerals as compared to IE numerals?

It's a complex topic; basically, my conclusions are that "Basque numerals 2, 3, 6, 7 are safely IE; numerals 1, 4, 5, 9, 10 might ultimately be, in various ways, including loans and internal innovations; 8 still does not fit in".

 

You can find all the details in my article and in my reply to the critics thereof.
