Huh. The finding that Iberian is not a close language to Basque is surprising, but then again the Romans did not put the two of them as one nation- like they did with Aquitanians (Southwest France today) and Basque territory hmm. Pilus, pirus, pilis. This is intriguing. But one word doesn't signify the membership of a language in another language family. Is it possible that Tamil itself adopted the IVC term for elephants? Of course, since in all likelihood proto-Tamil speakers absorbed many refugees from IVC, there should be many terms shared between the two languages, even if they're from different language families Still interesting to speculate.
