Conclusion: Originating in the A-N-I subgroup;

A-N-I subgroup                         Sex          %        Dev. Chain
Armenian Family names                       99%     (A; N; I; R; K; O; H)
Indigenous Tribes of NT                        85%    (A; N; I; G; R; M, U)
African/Oth.                               F           80%     (A; N; I; M; E; U; K)
The Pillars of Heaven                            78%     (A; N; I; E; S; L; R)
Swim                                                         68%    (A; N; I; U; E)
Dungeon                                                   68%    (A; N; I; E; O)
Blindness                                                  62%   (A; N; I; E; U; T)
Ape                                                            59%    (A; N; I; M; E; R; U)
Ring                                                           53%    (A; N; I; R; E; G)
Five (number)                                          49%    (A; N; I; P; E)

It will have originated at below 59%, the earliest partial being A* (tigrinya), then at 48% with *N (sorani kurdish), *N (manipuri), There is a gap from 37%-27% before the first Ape appears in Maĭmuna (bulgarian) and maimuni (georgian). Encounters with Apes peak at 7% before declining down to 1%.

A-N-I-M-E for both African/Other female and Ape implies a high degree of linguistic origin from one of the linguistic groups in Africa not examined individually (Bantu perhaps).
