Bronze age begins around 2500 BC.
Iron age begins around 500 BC. (perhaps inspired by trade with _?)
Proto-Suvonic no longer spoken 100 BC.
Grammatical features of note:
SO(Neg)V-(Neg), i.e. optional double negation with two single negation strategies possible.
An oblique adposition (*u?), perhaps descended from an accusative and a prepositional case which merged. (The adposition is dropped entirely in Lowland Suvonic).
