Overview
Standard methodology suggests that we reject the null hypothesis (accidental resemblance) and offer a more plausible explanation for the observed similarities. Since the known typology of language contacts does not speak in favor of explaining the observed Indo-Uralic matches as old lexical borrowings, the optimal explanation is seen in the hypothesis of an Indo-Uralic genetic relationship, with the 7 matching pairs in question representing archaic retentions, left over from the original Indo-Uralic protolanguage. 1. [...]this positive probabilistic result is mostly based on coincidences that are unlikely to reflect true etymological sound correspondences, such as IE *d - Finno-Ugric *p, etc.
