Talk:khol


 * This looks like exactly the April Fools' FWOTD I've been looking for. I assume the IPA is /kʰol/ based on the usual Indological transcription, but can we confirm that? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 03:05, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I would guess that's it, but I can't access a source that would confirm it. If you have means of accessing them, I can find mention of a paper by a Dong called Anal features-- phonological and syntacto-semantic-- in linguistic analysis, in addition to the references Glottolog mentions, the most promising-sounding of which is the (unpublished?) M.A. dissertation by M. S. Ningomba, titled Anal Phonology (1971), stored at Deccan College in Pune. - -sche (discuss) 03:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Erm, if the author's name didn't tip you off, that paper is a joke. (It was described as "penetrating -- if not seminal".) It appears Ningomba's thesis is not online, and I'm not going to be in India any time soon. The best I can find is this odd paper, which uses a more IPA-like transcription. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh; I just saw it mentioned in a snippet and named it as something to look into. There unfortunately seems to be no overlap between the words Bareh's cited work covers and the words Meitei covers, but Meitei at least confirms that kʰo(-) and (CV)l exist in Anal. - -sche (discuss) 06:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
