Conclusion: the A-I-E linguistic subgroup includes Ice, River, GaelicF, and PortugeseF suggesting settlement near a river with ice formation or glacial shedding for protoGaelic Females.
Earliest naming of ice is 25% with Is (Danish), Iis (Frisian), Eis (German), Ís (Icelandic), Es (Indonesian), Ais (Kannada), Aisa (Samoan), and És (Sudanese) showing encounters with ice in Northern Europe and from Africa to the South Pacific. Followed by a development bandgap at 22% then a return to encountering ice with a peak at 8%. Then decline down through to 2%.
