| - Duplicate concepts: 15 (e.g., "father" x3, "mother" x2, "old" x2, "flower" x2) |
| |
| ## Verdict: PASS |
| |
| ## Notes |
| - Excellent IPA quality: 81.9% of entries have non-ASCII IPA characters. Proto-Dravidian phonology includes retroflexes (ʈ, ɖ, ɳ, ɭ, ɻ), dentals (t̪, n̪), palatals (tʃ, ɲ), and long vowels -- all properly represented. |
| - 14.0% Word==IPA ratio is the healthiest of all 12 languages audited. This indicates thorough phonological conversion from the DEDR transliteration to IPA. |
| - SCA encoding correctly handles the Dravidian retroflex/dental contrast by neutralizing to the same class (both map to T/N/L), which is appropriate for SCA sound class abstraction. |
| - Vocabulary is consistent with Krishnamurti (2003) and DEDR (Burrow & Emeneau): |
| - Core Dravidian terms: nīr (water), kal (stone), il (house), pāl (milk), mīn (fish) |
| - Numerals: ir (two), nāl (four), cay (five), cāṯu (six), ēẓ (seven) |
| - Flora/fauna: puli (tiger), pāmpu (snake), eli (rat), pul (grass) |
| - 15 duplicate concepts are genuine: Proto-Dravidian has multiple attested roots for "father" (appa, ayya, tantay), "mother" (amma, āy, awwa), "old" (paẓa, mutV). These reflect different Dravidian subgroup innovations. |
| - The use of H notation (aH, caH, puH) for laryngeals is consistent with modern Proto-Dravidian reconstruction conventions. |
| - No hallucination indicators. This is the highest-quality lexicon in the set. |
