I’ll type a few and you may pick and choose which if any are passed on: 1: What is the current “best bet” of a sister family to Indo-European? 2: Which values are the laryngeals (h1-h4 (or h3?)) most likely to have had, if there is any consensus on this? 3: What is the latest major discovery within the IE field and: 4: What is the biggest mystery/unanswered question in the IE field? I think that’s it for now.

He answered at least 1 and 2; I think you'll find 3 and 4 got addressed in a roundabout way too.

Thank you, dr. Crawford. I wasn’t able to watch the crowdcast, so I’m looking forward to seeing the video when it’s out. Keep up the good work.
