Conclusion: originating in the A-N-I linguistic subgroup;

the earliest paartial blindness are from 62% with A*A (sanskrit) to 43% with *N (manipuri).

There is a bandgap from 40%-32% before Blindness starts showing up at 30%. Peaking at 23%, before dropping down to 13%, peaking again at 7%, declining down to less than 1%.
