Where it stands
Still possibleOne piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- Hattic basic vocabulary will show matches with reconstructed Sino-Caucasian roots at a rate above chance when tested on a fixed wordlist.
- The matches will obey the sound correspondences proposed for the macrofamily.
What would rule it out
- A permutation test on a fixed basic wordlist shows the match rate with Sino-Caucasian reconstructions is no higher than with unrelated controls.
- The Sino-Caucasian macrofamily itself is shown not to hold, removing the comparison set.
