Conclusion: originating in the A/G indeterminant makes it most likely related to the A-G (Cave) linguistic subgroup. So the idea of walking dead is pre-iceage? The data pool is tiny but you work with what you get,

So lets say there is a cave in iceland that needs to be found despite our Korean Cave origin.
