3 hrs confidence:
had reflexes Explanation: I don't know what PEM-Dâw is, but it would appear that the author is comparing cognates in PEM-Dâw with forms seen in Dâw itself. "The contour tone cognate pairs in PEM-Dâw had contour tone reflexes in Dâw." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days20 hrs (2007-07-31 09:34:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the explanation. I think the author's text would have been clearer if she had said something like "contemporary Daw" for the second element of comparison. |
