[edit] Copy error?

Well I for one would like a bit more detail on this 'copy-error' before assuming it to be correct. Has this been discussed in print anywhere? Are the documents in which this copy-error is evident in print? If not then this counts as original research and doesn't belong here. Also, while there has been some descriptive and translation work on some of these languages it doesn't appear that there has been any historical/comparative work on any of them, in which case the whole question of their relatedness is up for grabs and whether or not the Kwomtari and the Baibait families actually exist must remain uncertain.

...also, I'm curious to know where the pronoun data came from. The Fas data I've seen was a bit different. Dougg 05:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Pyu isolate?

I can't see in Ross 2005 where Pyu is specifically excluded from his Left May-Kwomtari group. Perhaps I'm somehow missing it?

Also, I don't see how Ross perpetuates the 'copy error' as he doesn't use any information except pronouns to make his analysis, so the 'copy error' doesn't play a part. Dougg 00:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
