**Still possible** Answers **1** question0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** One 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.
