Conclusion: originating in the A-E-T linguistic Subgroup;

The earliest known west are partials at 64% with A*A (konkani) and A* (sindhi). This is follwed by a bandgap at 39%,
Another partial occurs at 37% with AT*E*A* (twi), and then the first complete West at 32% with Iar (scots gaelic) followed by another bandgap at 30%.
Renewed interest in the West direction occurs at 28% with R*A*A (sorani kurdish), rising to a peak at 14% before dropping away to again peat at 6% before declining down to less than 1%.

Did the early Etruscans give out directions to where they were from to the people they met or were they interested in something west of where they were?
