Fricke (2019c): Proto-Lamaholot

Original citation: Fricke, Hanna. 2019. Traces of language contact: The Flores-Lembata languages in eastern Indonesia. PhD thesis, Leiden University.
Notes on this source: If no Proto-Flores-Lembata form can be reconstructed but a set of similar forms is attested, Fricke (2019) gives a form that could potentially be a PFL reconstruction based on reversing the sound changes they undergo in the subgroups. These unreconstructed forms are marked with a hash tag (#), instead of an asterisk (*). A form marked by # thus refers to a lexeme shared by several subgroups but which, based on current knowledge, is not reconstructable to a proto-language.
