Here is an awesome reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. And yes, my linguistic knack can recognize a few of those words. The sound is about right. *happydance* What is remembered, lives.

The sound is good for a reconstruction, but I recall a slightly different dialect. :)

Yup, sounds about right.

Funny how Klingon seems to fit into it's range of descents as well...
