More errors!

I'm not so sure whether I should call you out on Obenzayet errors, but:
In Obenzayet, the 3p endings are of the form V:ʔu. But, according to the sound changes, they should be V:du. In addition, the paradigms show the stem aril- from *alir-, but there's no sound change to account for the lateral-rhotic metathesis.

I can't speak for anything else, but metathesis like that is rarely regular. In fact, sporadic metathesis is one of the most common kinds of irregular sound change, and is particularly common with liquids like l and r (c.f. Spanish palabra from parabola). So it's not at all unreasonable for Obenzayet to sporadically metathesize l and r--and since it's not a regular change, there's no reason to note it in the sound change list.

"At some point" isn't ASAP.
