Thank you, Piotr.

Your information is interesting and important, but still it is a comment to the competition of authorities. I hoped that we could list the shared properties (grammatical and phonetic, without lexical correspondences yet on this stage) of Uralic and IE versus Uralic and Dravidian (like once we compared Germanic & Balto-Slavic versus Germanic & West IE, if you remember). In this case even if we were not able to solve the problem we would crystallize it.

Is it possible?
