The {A,R} set: Ar (used by 40%) are protoindoeuropean for arrow, but now we can include the use of Arrow by protoindoeuropeans as the earliest descriptor for road.

Rise of Trade: At 8-9% of language commonality a large number of different peoples are using an overlapping language set connected by older routes (Michi isnt even related to earlier more commonly shared sets by anything more common).

The Silk Road: By the time we get to what can be considered the Silk Road designated as 2-3% connecting Yol in India to SBK (Uzbek) five hundred miles to the West of Yol, even less people share a common language.
