| ## Verdict: PASS |
|
|
| ## Notes |
| - Excellent IPA quality: 78.4% of entries have non-ASCII IPA characters. Proto-Semitic reconstructions involve pharyngeals (ħ, ʕ), glottals (ʔ), emphatics (tˤ, sˤ, kˤ), and lateral fricatives (ɬ) -- all properly represented. |
| - 25.9% Word==IPA ratio is healthy, indicating genuine phonological conversion from Proto-Semitic notation to IPA. |
| - SCA encoding handles Semitic phonology well: pharyngeals and glottals map to H class, emphatics retain their base class, laterals map to L. |
| - Semantic coverage is excellent: body parts (28 entries), animals (18), plants (8), kinship (10), nature terms (15). This distribution matches standard comparative Semitic lexica (Militarev & Kogan 2000, SED). |
| - The 8 duplicate concepts are genuine: e.g., "earth" has both *ʔarṣ́ (Akkadian cognate) and *ʕapar (Arabic cognate) -- these are distinct Proto-Semitic roots for related concepts. |
| - The vocabulary includes culturally specific items (ḥimār "donkey", gamal "camel", ḫVnzīr "pig") that are genuine Proto-Semitic cultural vocabulary. |
| - No hallucination indicators detected. This is a high-quality lexicon. |
