Not a fan, I take it? A shame… Well, life goes on! I figure if it's good enough for Somali, it's good enough for me.

I wonder where it came from in Somali, perhaps from an old Semitic glyph?

The first option seems better. Also, for future challenges, there should be a fixed number of guesses per player instead of continuing until someone gets the answer exactly correct.

Each pair of words represents a different modern form in a different language, but they all derived from the same word initially. The goal is to reconstruct what that protoform is based on all the modern cognate forms, similar to how proto-languages were deciphered in real life. Also, the previous t...

Same rules as the old challenge, in which we guess the protoforms of the words given. I was wondering whether starting a new thread with a simpler challenge would encourage others to return, apparently each challenge having 4 or 5 words may have been too difficult. That will still be allowed, but no...

Nuxalk tł /tʰɬ̩/ vs Navajo dził /t͡sɪɬ/ and related forms? Are these true or false cognates?

Low tone with possible secondary articulation.
