Conclusion: Originating in the R linguistic Subgroup;

R subgroup            Sex          %                       Dev. Chain                     Bandgap
Norse                       M         80%                     (R; I; O; T, A)
Norse                        F           69%                    (R; H; A; I; T, L)
Whirlpool                             68%                     (R; A; I; O, U; L)
German                   M           58%                    (R; E; A; I; N; L)                  L
Red (colour)                          54%                    (R; A; E; O; U; N)
Norwegian             M          52%                     (R; E; A; N; I)

The earliest partial whirlpools are at less than 68% with *R (dogri), *R (konkani), and *R (maithili). This is followed by a bandgap from 48%-38%. The next occurence is at 37% with the partial *R*L (tigrinya).
This is followed by a bandgap at 30% and the first full whirlpools at 28% with Vir(bosnian) and vířivá vana(czech). This is followed by a bandgap at 24% before interest in whirlpools becomes popular at 22% rising to a peak at 12% then declining down to 1%.
