I am not experienced in language but I'm willing to give it a try. Starting a language blog is new to me so if I start to fringe theorize, please feel free to correct me ;). My goal is to get the Georgian/PIE language relations to be introduced to Eupedia and to see where we can go from there :).

Hello there guys, to branch off of Arame's Sumerian Indo-European Blog. I'd like to tackle another route the Sumerians had connection to Indo-Europeans; via the proto-Kartvelians aka Haplogroup G? I'm guessing that the Indo-Europeans language maybe made contact with the Proto-Kartvelians via the Kura-Araxes culture but I could be wrong.
Apparently according to Britannia, PIE has have Proto-Kartvelian loan words


For example:
English: Warm
PIE:*tep-
Proto-Kartvelian:*tep-
Proto-Germanic: ywarmaz
Latin: Calida
Greek: zesto
Albanian: i ngrohtë


English: Heart
PIE: ḱḗr
Proto-Kartvelian: *ḱerd-
Proto-Germanic: Hertan
Latin: cor
Greek: Kardia
Albanian: zemër

From the wikilink and the Georgian academy of science, it seems like there is a possibility that the Kartvelians and Indo-Europeans knew shared information regarding to biology and horticulture. :)
