Uralic - pannous/hieros GitHub Wiki
Sumerian’s grammatical profile is agglutinative and ergative, a structure it shares with the Hurrian and Urartian languages, as well as Uralic.
Uralic languages are clearly distantly related with Eurasian:
Minun nimeni on Adam
my name is Adam
The language family spread together with PIE either via Corded Ware or the Seima Turbino complex (or both):

all but two numbers align nicely with European languages.
'5' is more closely related to Slavic languages where penta is reduced to n-less peta⋍phiti.
Interestingly '4' shows a similar abnormality as Dravidian.
