That's quite the odyssey there. Do you want to derive this out of something
like Pre-Proto-Nilo-Afrasian, or is there some other reason (genetical?)
you're having them take such a long detour, & not just saying they are just
another Old European group that has vanished from our history?

Flat-out language change might be more likely than simple adaptation of
loanwords, if they're going to plow thru the entire Europe, at least if this
is supposed to be a single population rather than part of a wider radiation.
