Numerous Mitanni names have IndoAryan provenance.

Biriamazda- Priyamedha
Artasmara- Rtasmara
Tvaišaratha-Tveṣáratha
Indrauta-Indrota
Mittaratti- Mitrātithi
Dewatti-Devātithi

These suffixes & prefixes are predominantly found in later Rig Vedic books- implying the RV is older!
Earliest rulers of Mitanni king list are 'Kirta', Shuttarna & Parattarna

The capital was Waššukanni (Skt Vasu-khani-'Mine of wealth'). The city was lost to history & never found.

Zebu cattle entered the middle east around the same time as Mitanni! Did THEY bring it from India?
