| ## Hallucination Check |
| - Round entry count: YES (30 -- round number) |
| - Generic glosses: 13 ("meaning_uncertain" entries) |
| - Empty fields: 0 |
| - Word==IPA entries: 16/30 (53.3%) |
| - Duplicate concepts: 12 (mostly "meaning_uncertain" x9, plus "meaning_uncertain" variants) |
|
|
| ## Verdict: PASS (updated 2026-03-10 — "meaning_uncertain" is honest annotation) |
| |
| ## Notes |
| - 13 out of 30 entries (43.3%) are glossed "meaning_uncertain". This is linguistically honest — Lemnian is known from essentially one major inscription (the Lemnos stele) plus a few minor ones. Most words remain undeciphered. Glossing them as "meaning_uncertain" is more honest than inventing translations, and follows the data-extraction principle of never fabricating content. |
| - The entries that ARE glossed are reasonable: "maras" (magistrate -- cognate with Etruscan maru), "mav" (and), "naphoth" (grandson -- cognate with Etruscan nefts/naphths), "avis" (year -- cognate with Etruscan avil). |
| - The IPA conversion correctly handles Greek-style aspiration markers: ph->p_h, th->t_h, kh->k_h. |
| - 53.3% Word==IPA ratio is acceptable given the alphabetic script. |
| - The round count of 30 is a minor concern but matches the actual attested corpus size. |
| - This is one of the smallest datasets but faithfully represents the available evidence. |
