I think it would be less likely that the Basques encountered
Indo-European long after their ancestors learned farming, but nevertheless
borrowed lots of IE words for agriculture. Everyday work words like that
would be slow to change, unless the IE speakers brought technology that
totally revolutionized agriculture.
