    Yes, congratulations to all involved.
    The way that morphologically complex words are marked up is a little confusing, though. For example, in a case like this, from Martha Ratliff’s White Hmong data:

    pob-tsuas 1.22 the mountain or hill 5. no evidence for borrowing bāo ( Chinese )

    the table shows a loan source (which Martha and David Mortensen assure me is valid for the first part of the White Hmong term), but then flags it as “5. no evidence for borrowing.” Perplexing!
