Proto-Japonic edit

	A user suggests that this Proto-Japonic reconstruction page be cleaned up, giving the reason: “Very likely a post-split borrowing from mainland Japanese. Consider that inherited proto /ku/ usually reflects in Miyako as /f-/, as in Proto-Japonic kukOru → Miyako 括ㇲ゙* (ffuz), and that medial /ru/ often syncopates in Yonaguni.”
	Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup⁽⁺⁾ for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
