<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">I notice that in the new presentation of the ACD, *ñ has disappeared from
the list of phonemes at the top of the “Cognatesets” page. This is a matter close to my heart since Blust has argued that my emendation of *j [gʲ] to a palatal nasal clashed with PAN *ñ. Alex, can
you provide any background ? is this on Blust’s instructions ? did

Dear Alex and An-listers,</div>

<div>Thank you very much for your reply, Alex. It is good to preserve the original version of the ACD by Blust.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an avid user of the ACD, it would be more beneficial if you could do the following actions in the future:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Differentiate Blust's and your reconstructions by noting Blust's forms if you and his reconstructed items and their meanings differ. This is what Blust himself did for Dempwolff's reconstructed items, as observed here: <a href="https://www.trussel2.com/ACD/acd-s_g.htm#30961" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.trussel2.com/ACD/acd-s_g.htm#30961</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) Make an update log, which is easily accessible and readable as the original one. (<a href="https://www.trussel2.com/ACD/acd-updatelog.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.trussel2.com/ACD/acd-updatelog.htm</a>)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would appreciate it if you could consider these suggestions.</div>
<div>I am sorry if I miss something that already exists.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Best regards,<br>

The original ACD is still up, and the new ACD has release numbers and version control, so updates don’t make the past versions disappear.

It is fantastic to continue the ACD site. However, as a historical linguist, I think that what Professor Robert Blust wrote should be kept as it was, for example, as a backup as Blust's version or by annotating that given forms were suggested by him. It will
be better for us if someone builds on it after publishing his version because no one thinks precisely the same as Professor Blust as a person (It is not a matter of good or bad.).</p>

Oceanic specialists might want to have a say about the new ACD by relating it to the Polynesian lexical collection by Professor Bruce Biggs, which has been developed by other professors and has become POLLEX Online (<a href="https://pollex.eva.mpg.de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://pollex.eva.mpg.de/</a>).
It has continued to be revised as well.</p>
