I’d actually just given a talk this past weekend on Proto-Indo-European and the Indo-Europeans[, but didn’t want to be all braggy about it, nor did I wish to inadvertently divulge my IRL identity]. We know they had domesticated cattle and a dairy culture, and I would bet an easy ten bucks that we are looking at/listening to something that stretches a lot further back than Old Swedish or even the Northern Germanic split.
