A couple of typos spotted -

"Semantically, it’s closest to our present progressive: e.g. poch = ‘B is thinking'” - I think this should read 'D is thinking'.

"if there as really nothing else, whoever spoke first would take the higher rank. " - I think this should be "was" nothing else.

Gpuki tutujno mat? is glossed as "can iliu swim?". I think it should actually be matâ - E.swim

Something quite minor I spotted: "Affricates count as a single consonant: tsuk ‘know’ is SVS not SVSS." > Should be SSVS. Also, there's a slight inconsistency above that: poch = ‘D is thinking” > where there is an opening single apostrophe, but closing quote mark.

I'm not clear on why tsak has a dual in tsakêt rather than tsakat.

But Caďinor doesn't have /ʃ/.

Axunašin does, however, and so it is possible that the similarity was recorded in Axunašin records.

I still think there's something missing in the dual of 'bone' - is there a rule I haven't spotted that will cause this to be tsakêt?

Two years later, I know, but I think there's a typo in the table of plurals; by the rule given, I believe tsak/tsakêt is wrong and should be tsak/tsakat.

I can't reconstruct why I had tsakêt, so I've corrected it to tsakat.
