Phonology isn't the area where Icelandic is the most conservative, I would argue. There's a lot of transphonologicalization, but also a ton of innovations. Morphology is the main area where Icelandic's archaicness starts to show

I've heard several claims online that broken plurals were originally just collective nouns, which grammatically functioned as feminine singular nouns. Is this related to the PIE-thing, or is it just a coincidence?
