We should note that there are PIE roots not only for "wheel" (several
different words) but for a whole series of related terms -- axle, nave of a
wheel, wheeled vehicle/wagon, yoke, 'to make a journey by wagon', etc.

There are also terms for wool, woven cloth, sewing, spinning, and weaving.

The above are unambiguously 4th-millenium, no earlier.
