NOTES

1. "The hypothesis of the monogenesis of language is one that most linguists believe to be plausible. Indeed, the appearance of language may define modern Homo sapiens." Philip E. Ross (Staff writer) in "Hard Words", pp. 138-147, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, April 1991.


In the course of developing the theory of the Proto-Language, I have been compelled to modify my ideas based on insights obtained
through each new essay for a different language family.

As a consequence, the reader may find it helpful to know that the
most up-to-date assignment of meanings to Proto-Language monosyllables
will always be found in this file at the website.

Additionally, I will link here the file which contains the
most-to-date interpretation of morphological elements, of
whichever language essay they may be a part.
