All Proto-Chadic lemmas without descendants

All but one of these pages created by @Allahverdi Verdizade have no descendants (and that one is at RFM to be split into two separate pages). We therefore have no straightforward way of assessing them, and the sole source used is not only mostly reconstructing roots rather than actual words, but is also not very reliable (it even refers to them as a "tentative reconstruction" in the title). Allahverdi said that he doesn't know how to fix the entries and only wanted to make the reconstructions available to the public, which is better accomplished by the table at Appendix:List of Proto-Chadic reconstructions. We can still create Proto-Chadic entries, but they should be based on the latest scholarship (which reconstructs sub-branches first, and works up), and they should have evidence to back them up. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
