Maybe not genetically related but Hurrian apparently borrowed a lot from languages like Akkadian (Assyrian). And had heavy overlap in pantheon as well -Sumerian/Meso.

Ofcourse all possible because there are Akadian language seals in burials around ~2300 BCE and also a long running hypothesis that South Central Asian areas spoke languages like Hurrian etc which are close to Akkadian. Maybe areas as far as Sarasm did similar languages..

This is the best folk devotional I have EVER heard in a crude North Indian Khadi boli language. It talks about monsoons and the coming of King Indra .. Raja Inderrr. Very Haryanvi. Extremely rustic and of a time passed by us.. youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8SG3qH…

This is also much in line with Paul Thieme's proposal of it being primarily communal/courtsey/guest/host in nature. He looked carefully at the Ariyaman/Aryaman deities. A social institution of reciprocal relationship.

This is also a much older proposed hypothesis by Szemerényi. Although the original hypothesis says Ugaritic. It could very well be from Akkadian arie, where there is some evidence for theological influence as well.

Interestingly, here are quite a few proposed N Eastern (including Akkadian - where the deity Aryaman was likely influenced, as per Perpola) words which have very similar social meanings of bonding or companionship. Some have an uncanny resemblance.

The closest word in other IE languages that we actually have to this word, with the same social, peer, communal sense, is primarily Hittite. This isn't seen in any communal sense in other IE languages, including Celtic, where it has a later legal, INDIVIDUAL, non-ritual def.

Even the deities Airyaman/Aryaman, which literally derive from the word in both texts, have a sense of peer, companionship, SOCIAL courtesy, and bond among related kin groups. Aiding the evidence. Aryaman in the Rig Veda is an Aditya, og solar deity. Likely Assyrian-derived.

In the oldest texts that have the term Arya/Ariya there is no hymn which alludes to them being a legal identity - noble, freeman, or ANY individual honorific. That happens relatively later. Primarily, it is used as a distinguisher of communal custom or individual membership.

They seemed to have mapped specific rituals to specific named nakshatras, which have an uncanny Near Eastern resemblance to what they represent. Some of these are the same as the 27/28 we now use. Suggesting a sophisticated ritual calendar with mansion semantics.
