| # Adversarial Audit: Lycian (xlc) |
|
|
| ## Source Verification |
| - Claimed source: wiktionary |
| - Entry count: 99 |
| - Entry count plausible: NO (expected 100-500; 99 is 1 below minimum -- borderline) |
|
|
| ## Format Verification |
| - Header correct: YES |
| - All rows have 6 fields: YES |
| - Duplicate entries: 0 |
|
|
| ## Content Verification (5 random samples) |
| | # | Word | IPA | SCA | Gloss | IPA Valid? | SCA Valid? | |
| |---|------|-----|-----|-------|-----------|-----------| |
| | 1 | aha | axa | AKA | to_sit | YES (h->x is valid Lycian) | YES | |
| | 2 | cbatru | cbatru | KBATRU | daughter | WARN (Word==IPA, no conversion for cb-) | YES | |
| | 3 | kumaza | kumatsa | KUMATSA | a_priest | YES (z->ts is valid) | YES | |
| | 4 | mahan | maxan | MAKAN | a_god | YES (h->x valid) | YES | |
| | 5 | qaja | kwaja | KAYA | a_temple | YES (q->kw valid labiovelar) | YES | |
|
|
| ## Hallucination Check |
| - Round entry count: NO (99) |
| - Generic glosses: 0 |
| - Empty fields: 0 |
| - Word==IPA entries: 72/99 (72.7%) |
| - Duplicate concepts: 11 (e.g., "daughter" x2, "to_give" x2, "this" x2, "three" x2, "a_priest" x3) |
|
|
| ## Verdict: WARN |
|
|
| ## Notes |
| - 72.7% Word==IPA ratio is high but expected for a sparsely attested Anatolian language where many words lack established IPA beyond the orthographic form. Lycian used an alphabetic script close to Greek, so orthography approximates phonology. |
| - Count of 99 is just barely below the expected minimum of 100. This is borderline acceptable -- not a red flag. |
| - 11 duplicate concepts exist but these are genuine synonyms/doublets in Lycian (e.g., cbatru/kbatra for "daughter", tri/trei for "three"). This is linguistically plausible. |
| - IPA conversions that DO differ from Word are linguistically sound: h->x (fricative), z->ts (affricate), q->kw (labiovelar). These match known Lycian phonology (Melchert 2004). |
| - All glosses are specific and domain-appropriate for an ancient Anatolian language (kinship terms, religious vocabulary, numerals). |
