 This would appear to show that if Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Uralic are to be related, the connection must lie so far back that the families developed their number systems independently and did not inherit them from their purported common ancestor.Although, the fact that Uralic languages themselves do not share the same numbers across all Uralic branches indicates that they would not with Indo-European languages in any case, even if they were in fact related.It is also objected that some or all of the common vocabulary items claimed are false cognates – words whose resemblance is merely coincidental, like English "bad" and Persian "bad".
