Reconstruction talk:Proto-Northeast Caucasian/x̱änɦï

Delete this term

This one's from Starostin (2005, STARLING.rinet.ru database) whose reconstruction of "Proto-North-Caucasian" is based mostly on comparing one consonant across suspected cognates, one third of which aren't even real cognates (Nichols 2003). https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Northeast_Caucasian/%CE%BB:%C9%94n is Schrijver (2021)'s reconstruction of the same word, following Nichols's (2003) consonant correspondences and examining ablaut patterns and vowel systems across Nakh and Avar-Andi-Tsezic.

And yes Starostin's database is from 2005 but it builds on work from 1986 and 1994, with method largely unedited, for his data is unable to account for vocalism in Nakh and Avar-Andi-Tsezic nearly as well as Schrijver's. Qmbhiseykwos (talk) 17:10, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
