It is interesting to note that the common Indo-European vocabulary does
tend to be heavy in horse-related terms, indicating that the horse was
domesticated early in the day before the IE peoples branched out.

For the Finno-Uigric languages, though, the common vocabulary is freshwater
fishes, indicating a background as a fishing people, a role borne out by
their apparent movement along rivers.
