You mentioned that on [tied], and I like
that name. And you link Altaic and Gilyak. Do you include Korean and
Japanese with Altaic? And Indo-Tyrrhenian implies Indo-European and
Etruscan I reckon.
Also, if you're gonna use a Russian
geographical term, we could use "Proto-Tundra" for Chuk-Kam-Esk-Aleut and
"Proto-Taiga" for Uralic-Yukaghir....

I already
have my own name, "Proto-Boreal", but this includes
UralicYukaghir as well.
It would be a subbranch, together
with AltaicGilyak and IndoTyrrhenian, of
the "Proto-Steppe" grouping
(Bomhard's
"Eurasiatic").
