Is this case still in line with the description in paragraph two of the guidelines for partially attested languages (https://github.com/lingdb/CoBL/wiki/00--Guidelines-for-Partially-Attested-Languages) and similar enough to the o-ni-ti-ja-pi case? - The difference I see is that the context of the direct attestions here suggests a slightly different (resp. narrower) meaning, while o-ni-ti-ja-pi still means 'decorated with birds', not e.g. 'decorated with eagles' or 'decorated with winged animals'."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lingdb/CoBL/issues/comments/199880526","html_url":"https://github.com/lingdb/CoBL/issues/114#issuecomment-199880526","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/lingdb/CoBL/issues/114","id":199880526,"user":{"login":"tonyakdewey","id":16066767,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/16066767?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey","html_url":"https://github.com/tonyakdewey","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tonyakdewey/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-22T16:00:22Z","updated_at":"2016-03-22T16:00:22Z","body":"@CasFre, yes, I agree completely with what you've laid out."}}
