| | # Adversarial Audit: Rhaetic (xrr) |
| |
|
| | ## Source Verification |
| | - Claimed source: wiktionary |
| | - Entry count: 45 |
| | - Entry count plausible: YES (expected 30-100) |
| |
|
| | ## 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 | tinake | tinake | TINAKE | - | WARN (Word==IPA, no gloss) | YES | |
| | | 2 | sphura | sp_hura | SPURA | - | YES (ph->aspirated) | YES | |
| | | 3 | velkhanu | welk_hanu | WELKANU | - | YES (v->w, kh->aspirated) | YES | |
| | | 4 | phuter | p_huter | PUTER | - | YES (ph->aspirated) | YES | |
| | | 5 | kleimunteis | kleimunteis | KLEIMUNTEIS | - | WARN (Word==IPA) | YES | |
| | |
| | ## Hallucination Check |
| | - Round entry count: NO (45) |
| | - Generic glosses: 45 (ALL entries have concept = "-") |
| | - Empty fields: 0 |
| | - Word==IPA entries: 20/45 (44.4%) |
| | - Duplicate concepts: 0 (all are "-") |
| | |
| | ## Verdict: FAIL |
| | |
| | ## Notes |
| | - CRITICAL: ALL 45 entries have concept_id = "-". There are ZERO glosses in the entire dataset. This means every single entry is an unglossed word form. While Rhaetic is genuinely undeciphered (only ~300 inscriptions, mostly brief), some words have proposed interpretations in the literature (e.g., "tinake" is widely interpreted as a verb form related to Etruscan "to give/dedicate"). |
| | - Without any glosses, this lexicon provides phonetic data only -- no semantic anchoring for cognate comparison. This severely limits its utility for the PhaiPhon pipeline which relies on concept-based cognate pairing. |
| | - The IPA quality is acceptable: 42.2% non-ASCII entries, with proper handling of aspiration markers (ph->p_h, th->t_h, kh->k_h). This suggests Rhaetic was treated as having Etruscan-like aspiration phonology, which is the scholarly consensus (Rix 1998, Schumacher 2004). |
| | - Word forms are recognizable from published Rhaetic corpora: tinake (Sanzeno inscription), sphura, velkhanu, phuter, kastrie, helanu. These are genuine Rhaetic attestations. |
| | - The 44.4% Word==IPA ratio is reasonable given the alphabetic script. |
| | - RECOMMENDATION: Either add proposed glosses from Schumacher (2004) or Marchesini (2015), or document that this language is intended for phonetic-only comparison. In its current state, the dataset is authentic but functionally incomplete for concept-based analysis. |
