Thread Name: Yan Tan Tethera - more words in the count?
Subject: RE: Yan Tan Tethera - more words in the count?
Season's Greetings to everyone. I get the feeling that someone somewhere is reading this page: Luwian language has been added to Wikipedia's list of numbers in various languages. It reads in, an, tarris, then a choice between mawinzi and mawa for four. I can only interpret this as a sign that mainstream academia is coming round to my way of thinking. Apologies for slight immodesty, but it's probably the only linguistic discovery I'll ever be known for. They do say that actions speak louder than words, and whatever its imperfections, Wikipedia does have a pretty high reputation. I can only agree with their conclusion.
